Stablecoin Payment Infrastructure: How the Stack Works
Stablecoin payment infrastructure is a stack: issuance, wallets, settlement rails, on/off ramps, and reconciliation. Here is what each layer does and where the money actually settles.

Explainers
Crypto-collateralized stablecoins hold more collateral than the tokens they issue, and every part of that buffer is visible onchain if you know which fields to read.

A step-by-step walk through Paxos minting and redemption: what the issuer does off-chain, what appears on the blockchain, and how to trace each mint and burn.
Explainers
On traditional rails, a payment can look settled and still reverse days later. Onchain, finality is a property of the ledger itself. Here is what that means for a treasury reporting cash as settled.
Explainers
Onchain cash management moves corporate treasury from batch cutoffs to continuous settlement. The gap that trips teams up is the challenge of proving where the money is at any moment.
Explainers
Tracking a stablecoin's balance on one chain is easy. Tracking it across every chain it lives on, without double-counting bridged supply, is where most monitoring breaks.
Explainers
Corporate treasurers who hold stablecoins face a reconciliation problem no bank statement solves. Here is how onchain monitoring works, and what breaks when you skip it.

Business-to-business is the smallest of the four stablecoin payment flows by value and the fastest-growing, and it clusters in a handful of cross-border corridors.
Explainers
The GENIUS Act moved stablecoins from a regulatory gray zone to a federal rulebook. The obligations it created on reserves, monthly disclosures, and redemption rights are what changed institutional appetite.
Explainers
Onchain stablecoin volume runs into the trillions, but only a fraction is genuine payment activity once bots, exchange flows and mint/burn are stripped. Here is how stablecoin payments actually settle, and how to read the numbers.

Tempo is a payments-focused Layer 1 built around stablecoins and backed by Stripe and Paradigm. Here is what primary sources confirm, and what remains unannounced.
Explainers
Stablecoin risk monitoring is the practice of continuously tracking supply, reserves, concentration, and onchain movement so issuers, regulators, and institutions can spot trouble before it spreads.
