A payment can be sent across borders, received in a wallet, and used in another blockchain application without first returning to a bank account. Businesses can also convert the stablecoin into fiat currency through an exchange, issuer, or payment provider.

Should Businesses Settle in Fiat or Stablecoins? Fiat settlement is usually the more straightforward option for businesses that want predictable revenue and conventional accounting. The processor converts each payment and transfers the proceeds to a business bank account. This reduces direct exposure to cryptocurrency price movements, although conversion fees and exchange-rate spreads may still apply. Stablecoin settlement keeps the transaction on digital payment rails.

The move extended Bitcoin’s recovery from its June decline. Data shared in an embedded X post showed the cryptocurrency had gained approximately 12.75% since the beginning of July, recovering more than half of the 20.5% loss recorded during the previous month.

China’s economy expanded by 4.3% year on year in the second quarter of 2026, missing expectations of approximately 4.5% and recording its weakest growth rate since late 2022. The slowdown reflects continued weakness in property investment, household consumption and business confidence. Strong exports helped prevent a sharper decline, but the figures show that domestic demand remains unable to match the performance of China’s manufacturing and export sectors.
