📌 Background

By 2026, stablecoin cross-border payments have become widely adopted. A Cybrid survey indicates that 42% of enterprises already use stablecoins for cross-border transactions, achieving a 47% cost reduction. Given the complexity and high fees of traditional cross-border payments, MassPay and Coinbase have partnered to launch a USDC cross-border payment solution. Covering 180 countries, the solution reduces fund transfer costs by 40% to 70%, with compliance managed by Coinbase's licensed infrastructure.

👤 Target Customers

Merchants, platform-based enterprises, global expansion firms, and digital currency funds that require frequent cross-border payments. The primary payers are corporate clients utilizing the payment channel.

💰 Revenue Streams

1) Transaction-based fees, spreads on USDC-to-fiat currency exchange, and value-added services for compliant settlement and fund aggregation; 2) Scale-based revenue sharing and account value-added service fees; 3) Proprietary deployment: customized implementation fees for institutional clients integrating the settlement chain into their own systems.

🧮 Cost Structure

Compliance and license maintenance costs, USDC liquidity management costs, payment system development and maintenance expenses, AML and risk control investments, and customer acquisition costs.

🛡️ Moat

The combination of Coinbase's licensed compliance infrastructure and MassPay's multi-country payment network creates a barrier based on regulatory trust and scale in fund channels.

Payment network covering 180 countries and localized settlement capabilities
Clear value proposition regarding tangible cost savings for merchants

⚠️ Risks

Business adjustments necessitated by tightening stablecoin regulations in the US and EU
