Stablecoins: the future of M&A transaction settlements?
A Zodia Markets and Norton Rose Fulbright white paper
United Kingdom | Publication | October 2024
Many M&A processes conclude with the buyer instructing its bank to wire funds to the seller’s account. Such transfers, while simple in theory, can involve delays and additional costs as the funds make their way through the correspondent banking network. In recent years, fiat-collateralised stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) have risen in popularity as an alternative, low-cost, and quick means of settling transactions.
Together with digital asset brokerage – Zodia Markets, we explore the existing issues with corporate transaction settlements, how these issues are usually mitigated (where possible), and what advantages stablecoins may offer to complement the traditional banking system.
