In April, treasury management software provider Kyriba <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.circle.com\/es\/pressroom\/kyriba-and-circle-bring-usdc-capabilities-to-enterprise-treasury-unlocking-a-path-toward-more-intelligent-treasury-decisioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">partnered with Circle<\/a> to integrate the USDC stablecoin into its enterprise treasury platform.<\/p>\n<p>According to the companies, treasury teams can manage stablecoin balances alongside cash positions, complete eligible cross-border and intercompany payments in near real time, and access liquidity outside normal banking hours while continuing to use existing treasury approval processes.<\/p>\n<p>A separate report from Bitso Business, published this month, found stablecoin transaction volumes on its platform rose 81% year over year during the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bitso Business, the increase came from demand for real-time settlement, treasury management and cross-border liquidity solutions. The company added that more than 60% of newly onboarded business clients during the period were financial institutions, including banks and licensed payment providers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tether continues expanding its enterprise strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Business adoption surveys also indicate rising corporate interest in stablecoins. According to a June report by Paybis, 22.5% of surveyed businesses already use stablecoins for international payments or expect to do so within the next 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>The report, citing McKinsey research, said business-to-business transactions accounted for roughly 60% of the estimated $390 billion in global stablecoin payment volume recorded during 2025.<\/p>\n<p>DefiLlama <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/stablecoins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> shows the stablecoin market has continued to expand alongside that adoption. According to the analytics platform, total stablecoin market capitalization has reached about $312.3 billion, up roughly 21.5% from $257.1 billion a year earlier, with Tether\u2019s USDT remaining the largest stablecoin by market value.<\/p>\n<p>The Hyundai pilot arrives as Tether continues investing in blockchain infrastructure and enterprise finance. As previously reported by crypto.news, the company invested $20 million in Mercado Bitcoin on July 7 to support the Brazilian digital asset platform\u2019s expansion into tokenized assets, blockchain payments, lending and on-chain capital markets.<\/p>\n<p>Tether said it is prioritizing companies that combine regulatory approvals with blockchain infrastructure capable of serving institutional demand.<\/p>\n<p>Recent activity has extended beyond Latin America. During June, Tether announced plans to lead a funding round of up to $1.4 billion for German robotics company NEURA Robotics, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre on tokenization initiatives and blockchain education, and confirmed it would discontinue Alloy by Tether and its aUSDT token following a review of market demand and platform usage.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyundai Motor\u2019s U.S. and Mexican operations have completed a pilot cross-border treasury payment using Tether\u2019s USDT stablecoin, settling a $20,000 transfer in about seven minutes over the Avalanche blockchain.
