FXC Buyer's Guide:
Stablecoin Payments Infrastructure
FXC Intelligence is the market leader in cross-border payments intelligence, delivering independent, benchmarked analysis of stablecoin payments infrastructure for real-world cross-border use cases. We work directly with the leading vendors in the space to independently benchmark their capabilities and present FXC Buyer's Guide: Stablecoin Payments Infrastructure – a comprehensive assessment of the market, available as a subscription and updated periodically as the landscape evolves.
Combining our proprietary data and research with featured vendor capabilities that have not been shared publicly and insights from real buyers, this is a unique blueprint to evaluate possible partnerships, understand where stablecoins create real value and make faster, better-informed infrastructure decisions.
This is not vendor marketing. It’s benchmarked intelligence designed to support strategy, procurement and go-to-market execution.
“The sector is changing so quickly and the capabilities of the providers are adapting so quickly; we haven’t seen this level of evolution before. As things keep evolving, having some intelligence that cuts across the sector is incredibly valuable.”
We engage directly with vendors to independently assess and benchmark their capabilities, including:
“The stablecoin space is broad, which makes vendor choice critical. The real question isn’t whether to use a vendor, but which one – and where they truly add value, from treasury and FX to the quality of the stablecoin itself.”

Designed to deliver ongoing value, the Buyer's Guide enables your organisation to:
Access benchmarked insights you can't get anywhere else
- We’re sharing information on provider capabilities, product direction and market dynamics that we gained through direct engagement with the featured vendors, allowing us to benchmark them more accurately to their peers
- With product capabilities that have not been shared publicly, these are insights you won’t be able to replicate using information in the public domain or sales decks
Balance vendor claims with independent buyer perspectives
- We spoke directly with organisations that have already selected, integrated and scaled stablecoin infrastructure
- Their firsthand insights highlight what works in practice, where challenges arise and what new entrants should realistically expect when moving from evaluation to production
Make faster, more confident stablecoin infrastructure decisions
- Leverage the guide to replace fragmented research and vendor-led narratives with independent benchmarking and structured analysis, enabling your organisation to make confident infrastructure decisions faster
Build stablecoin infrastructure strategies and upskill your entire payments team
- Use our market-leading stablecoin and cross-border payments expertise to underpin your strategic approach to the stablecoin opportunity
- This helps organisations like yours identify where stablecoins can meaningfully support product, revenue, geographic strategy and where they are unlikely to deliver impact
Compare regional differences and local providers across the stablecoin payments landscape
- We’ve explained how provider capabilities, regulatory readiness and viable use cases differ by region and corridor
- This enables organisations to assess partners in the context of the markets they operate in, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all global claims
starts here.
Without independent, structured market intelligence, businesses risk:
- Decision paralysis and being left behind in a rapidly moving market, potentially missing valuable opportunities for your organisation
- Selecting vendors based on marketing claims rather than suitability for real-world use cases
- Spending internal time and budget recreating complex research that already exists
- Missing providers that are a stronger fit for their needs
- Investing in a rapidly evolving ecosystem without a full view of regulatory, operational and regional constraints
“It’s early days and with any kind of immature ecosystem, you’ve got to spend more time vetting partners. Some will work out, some will not – and in some areas, partners don’t yet exist.”
