Main Event
Payoneer released a new report called 'Stablecoin Steps Up' which surveyed 265 senior finance leaders from US enterprises generating at least $100 million in annual revenue. The report found that 90% of companies using stablecoins at meaningful volumes believe the benefits outweigh the challenges.
The survey also found that 69% of enterprises are actively using stablecoins in live operations, while 41% are using them at a meaningful scale. Among those using stablecoins at real volume, 90% said the benefits justify the work required to implement them.
Faster settlement was cited by 50% of respondents as the top practical benefit, followed by better access to markets and currencies (41%), and improved recipient payment experience (40%).

The report's findings suggest that the value of stablecoins becomes clearer with experience, not less clear. This is evident in the 73% to 90% jump in respondents who believe the benefits outweigh the challenges between pilots and scaled users.
Payoneer has an obvious interest in this story, as it sells cross-border payment services. However, readers should note that the sample focuses on a specific and influential group: US companies with at least $100 million in revenue.
