Is This Relevant for Your Business?

Cross-border crypto payments make the most practical sense when a business regularly pays overseas suppliers, freelancers, or contractors, and those recipients are willing and able to receive crypto. Before the next module, think through two questions. First, do you make regular payments to anyone outside the US? Suppliers, contractors, service providers, platform fees? If yes, note which ones. Second, do those recipients already use crypto, or would they be open to it? Many international freelancers and suppliers already hold crypto or use platforms that support stablecoin payments. If the answer to both is yes, cross-border crypto payments are worth exploring as a cost-reduction tool, not a crypto strategy. If your business is US-only and all your suppliers and contractors are domestic, this module is context for later. The US domestic wire and ACH system is already relatively fast and cheap compared to international transfers, and you might not have a reason to use crypto this way right now. [1]^[1]
