USDT and dollar-pegged tokens as working settlement infrastructure for cross-border trade.
Quick answer
A stablecoin is a digital token designed to hold a fixed value, usually 1:1 with the US dollar. In B2B trade they are used to move dollar value across borders in minutes without a correspondent banking chain. Used properly — through documented platform conversion tied to invoices — they are a legitimate speed and liquidity tool; used informally they create compliance exposure.
