Stablecoin Adoption Among Businesses Set to Accelerate, New Report Finds

A new survey from payments infrastructure firm Cybrid shows that 42% of businesses already rely on stablecoins for cross-border payments, while 88% said they’re likely to adopt them within the next 12 months. Only 2% described themselves as fully committed to traditional payment systems, signaling a major shift in business payment preferences.

Companies using stablecoins reported average savings of 35% on cross-border transactions, with businesses processing over $100 million monthly seeing savings as high as 47%. The global stablecoin market currently stands above $307 billion, led by Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC.

Regulatory Clarity Remains Top Priority

Payroll and contractor payments emerged as the leading use case, followed by supplier and customer payments. Among survey respondents, 71% said regulatory clarity matters more than trusted infrastructure or system integration when deciding whether to expand stablecoin usage. The survey included 468 executives across technology, financial services and ecommerce sectors in the U.S., Canada and U.K.

Industry Infrastructure Continues to Expand

Separate data shows business transactions now dominate stablecoin payment volume, with companies launching new regulated stablecoin products and expanding institutional custody support to meet rising demand.
