WEpayments offers crypto settlement options for cross-border operations, allowing merchants to receive settlements in USDT and USDC – two of the most widely used stablecoins pegged to the US dollar.
What are crypto settlements?
Crypto settlements enable international merchants to receive payment proceeds in stablecoins instead of traditional fiat currency. This provides faster settlement, reduced FX exposure, and greater flexibility for global operations.
Available stablecoins
| Stablecoin | Peg | Network | Typical use |
|---|
| USDT | 1 USD | Ethereum (ERC-20), TRON (TRC-20) | Most liquid, widely accepted |
| USDC | 1 USD | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Regulated, transparent reserves |
💡 Both stablecoins are denominated 1:1 to the US dollar, minimizing price volatility compared to other cryptocurrencies.
