WTO Stablecoin Report Cites XDC Network, Circle and BIS as B2B Stablecoin Payments Jump 733% Year-on-Year
The World Trade Organization's new stablecoin report references XDC Network, Circle and the Bank for International Settlements, signaling that stablecoins are being drawn into discussions of international trade infrastructure as B2B payment volumes surge.
WTO Report Cites XDC Network, Circle and BIS
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has cited XDC Network, Circle and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in a new report on stablecoins, drawing on their data and research. The report arrives as B2B stablecoin payments rose 733% year-on-year.
According to the report, XDC Network and Circle are listed as reference cases for stablecoins in cross-border trade settlement, while BIS provides an analytical framework on stablecoins' impact on the monetary system. By citing all three side by side, the WTO signals that it is bringing stablecoins into discussions of international trade infrastructure.
733% Growth and the Compliance Question
The 733% year-on-year growth rate means both the number and value of payments completed between businesses using stablecoins are expanding rapidly. For the cross-border settlement ecosystem, as B2B payments move from pilot to scale, pre-settlement compliance judgments—including payer identity, recipient whitelists and per-transaction limit controls—will more directly determine whether funds can actually land.
