A quarterly edition, dated and cited
Stablecoin Remittances and Cross-Border Payments
The quarter in one paragraph
How much stablecoin value moved between countries, the busiest corridors and chains and what changed since the last edition.
- Cross-border stablecoin value this quarter
- Corridors measured
- Change against last quarter
Corridors
The largest country-to-country corridors by value and by number of transfers, with the providers and chains behind each one.
- Value by corridor
- Transfers by corridor
Chains and stablecoins
Which chains and stablecoins carry cross-border flows, and how their shares compare with all stablecoin transfers.
- Cross-border value by chain
- Cross-border value by stablecoin
Transfer sizes
Cross-border transfers by size band, separating personal remittance amounts from business payments.
- Transfers by size band
- Median cross-border transfer
Against the wider remittance market
Published totals for remittances and cross-border payments, each cited with its source, set beside the measured stablecoin flows.

About
What it answers, and for whom.
A stablecoin remittance is money sent from one country to another as a stablecoin, usually bought through an exchange or payment app in one country and cashed out through another. This report estimates how much stablecoin value crosses borders each quarter, by corridor, chain and transfer size, from transfers between labelled exchanges and payment providers.
Chains do not record countries, so each corridor comes from labels: the country where the exchange or payment provider on each side is licensed. That makes the report a measured lower bound rather than a full count. Transfers between personal wallets, or through providers without a public label, cannot be placed in a corridor and are reported on their own.
Context from public remittance statistics, such as the total value sent across borders each year, is cited with its source and edition, so the stablecoin share is never compared with an unsourced figure.
Method
How it will be measured.
Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.
How receipts work →- Cross-border flows are stablecoin transfers between addresses labelled as exchanges or payment providers licensed in different countries; the labels and each provider's licensing country are recorded with their sources.
- Transfers are grouped into fixed USD size bands around typical remittance amounts, so personal remittances and business payments can be told apart.
- Transfers involving unlabelled personal wallets are counted by chain and size but not placed in a corridor.
- Global remittance and cross-border payment totals come from statistics published by international bodies and are cited with their edition; they are never mixed with on-chain figures without saying so.
- Every on-chain amount is pinned to blocks before the edition's date.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Can stablecoins be used for remittances?
Yes. A sender buys a stablecoin in one country and sends it to the recipient's wallet or to a provider in another country, where the recipient sells it for local currency or spends it. The on-chain leg settles in minutes on most chains, while buying and cashing out depend on local providers.
Why are USDT and Tron common in remittances?
USDT is the largest stablecoin by supply, and Tron carries a large share of its transfers, supported by many exchanges in regions that receive remittances. The report measures each chain's share rather than assuming it.
How is a cross-border transfer identified on-chain?
From the labels on both sides. When a transfer moves from an exchange or payment provider licensed in one country to one licensed in another, it is counted in that corridor. Labels are recorded with their sources, and unlabelled transfers stay out of corridors.
What share of cross-border payments use stablecoins?
The report sets measured stablecoin flows beside published cross-border payment totals, cited with their source. The share is shown with both figures' definitions, because global totals and on-chain measures do not count the same things.
- Remittance
- Money a person sends to family or others in another country.
- Corridor
- A pair of countries between which money is sent, from a sending country to a receiving one.
- Off-ramp
- A service that converts a stablecoin into local currency, such as an exchange or a payment app.
