A&M: Corporate Payments Took Over Half of Stablecoin Volume in 2026

  • —Corporate payments hit $230–340 billion, over half of 8-month volume
  • —B2B transfers reached $137–153 billion, with $56 billion in service fees
  • —Payroll and contractor pay totaled $43 billion; remittances $37 billion
  • —Top recipient markets: Thailand $10.8 billion, Turkey $7.8 billion, US $5.7 billion
Why it matters: Growing B2B stablecoin settlement broadens demand for USDT and USDC beyond trading and pressures traditional bank payment rails.
