The Stablecoin Skyscanner...we analyzed USDC sell rates across 10 providers, 8 corridors, 3 months. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive provider in the same corridor: 176 bps. No single provider wins everywhere. Rankings shift week to week. If your competitor gets multi-provider visibility first, they're structurally cheaper in every shared corridor.

Most fintechs treat stablecoin payment infrastructure as build vs. buy. There's a third option most skip. Build = months per corridor + 1–2 engineers just on maintenance Aggregator = fast, but 20bps on every transaction Orchestration layer = speed of an aggregator, economics of going direct. We wrote the full breakdown - the math at every tier, the real cost of maintenance, and when going direct is actually the right call. 👉borderless.xyz/insights/stabl…

In any other payment rail, running your entire operation through a single provider with no failover would be unacceptable risk. In stablecoins, it's still the default. Stablecoin 2.0 is bringing the stack in house. Redundancy, failover, no single point of failure. Talked about this on @CoinDesk TV.

Last year at A Very Stable conference: Uber, Airbnb, Meta payments teams everywhere. This year: gone. They came to learn last year. Now they're building. If you're a stablecoin company and think your only competition is other stablecoin companies, you're about to get a wake-up call. These teams have hundreds of millions of users and they ship fast.

You can Google USD → ZAR and instantly get the FX rate. Stablecoin FX hasn’t historically had that same level of transparency. That’s why we launched the Borderless Stablecoin FX Benchmark - bringing price discovery to stablecoin FX. 🎙️ Borderless.xyz CEO @KevLeht discusses this and more on @aroundthecoin. #Stablecoins #Payments

A year ago, banks wanted nothing to do with stablecoins. Last week one of them put me on a keynote stage to talk about them. KeyBanc Capital Markets Emerging Technology Summit. Closed-door sessions on stablecoin payments and tokenized deposits. The audience was banks, PE firms, institutional investors. The questions weren't "is this real?" They were "how do we build on this?"

The traditional payments crowd is asking about stablecoins now. Cross River Bank's Fintech@Night Thursday night. Not a crypto conference. A payments event. But the conversation kept coming back to stablecoins. A year ago they weren't interested. Last night they were the ones asking the most questions.

ATC features @KevLeht, CEO and Founder of @borderlessxyz, a global best-execution orchestration network for stablecoin on- and off-ramps. Borderless enables PSPs, fintechs, and financial institutions to integrate across a fragmented landscape of ramps and orchestrators through a single API, allowing partners to compare real-time FX rates and intelligently route transactions across a growing network of leading providers. ‍ Kevin believes the shift to blockchain-based money movement is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when. In his view, the majority of global money will move onchain in the coming years, and countries or payment rails that fail to adapt risk becoming outdated — much like paper checks in today’s digital economy. Do you think most money will move onchain in the future? 👇 Let us know your thoughts. 🎧 Tune in to Around The Coin with Stephen Sargeant (@lifesgt) — now streaming on all major platforms. 🔗aroundthecoin.com/podcast/are-st… #aroundthecoin #podcast #Fintech #Stablecoin #onchain #Compliance #AI

Join host Stephen Sargeant (@lifesgt) as he interviews @KevLeht, CEO and founder of @borderlessxyz, about stablecoin infrastructure and global payment flows, including the Genius Act and why stablecoins are more practical for payments than Bitcoin. Kevin explains Borderless’s branding, his early work launching TrueUSD, and how trust features like qualified custodians and attestations mattered before clear regulation. He outlines three issuance models—building on existing tokens, consortium-issued coins, and white-label issuance—and why large enterprises may prefer white-label or consortium approaches. Kevin describes Borderless as an open stablecoin payments network plus an orchestration “payments hub” that connects fintechs to multiple providers for redundancy, price discovery, and operational automation. They discuss Borderless’s stablecoin-to-fiat FX benchmark, stablecoins’ biggest value in unlocking prefunded trapped capital, expansion priorities (GCC and APAC), compliance needs (KYC/KYB, sanctions, travel rule, risk), skepticism of closed networks, and his interest in AI’s impact on labor constraints.

Excited to power @dfnsHQ Payouts 🌍 Through the Borderless network, Dfns can route stablecoin payouts across global payment providers while maintaining secure wallet controls. Read the full article here: borderless.xyz/insights/dfns-…
Dfns@dfnsHQ

Stablecoins solved settlement. But the moment you need to leave the chain, things get complicated… Local rails, FX, compliance checks, beneficiary verification, and corridor-specific quirks 🛑 Today we’re introducing 𝗗𝗳𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 💸 Our new Payouts API let you convert stablecoins to fiat and settle payouts to bank accounts in 𝟵𝟰 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 through a single workflow. The first integration is powered by Borderless.xyz, giving global payout coverage to our clients while keeping Dfns as the control plane for authorization, signing, transacting, tracing, and more. Instead of the typical “1 wallet + 1 payout provider” vertical stack, we’re building a horizontal, marketplace-friendly model where routing and authorization are separate systems. ✅ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀: Real price discovery and competition between payout providers. ✅ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: More choice, no vendor lock-in, and the ability to re-route transactions. ✅ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Stronger business continuity and availability, no single-provider dependency. ✅ 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀: Stablecoin-to-fiat payouts to bank accounts for 60+ currencies. If you’re building stablecoin payment rails and don’t want your payout stack welded to a single provider, this is for you.
