Fortune 500 Interest in Stablecoins Has Tripled. Here’s Why Treasury Teams Need Stable Sea

A quiet shift is building  into a wave. Nearly 1 in 3 Fortune 500 executives now say their companies plan to use, or are already exploring, stablecoins -  up from just 8% a year ago. Another 7% already deploy them. That’s a 3.6x jump in 12 months, according to Coinbase’s latest State of Crypto report!

What’s fueling the momentum?

  • Rising costs & slow rails: Finance teams are fed up with sluggish settlement times and wire fees that stack up.

  • Record stablecoin volume: Over $27.6 trillion in transfers in 2024 - more than Visa and Mastercard combined.

  • SMB pull-through: 81% of small and mid-sized businesses see stablecoins as a near-term solution for cross-border payments and payroll.

Stablecoins are no longer a crypto experiment. They’re fast becoming part of modern corporate finance.

Why Treasury Teams Still Struggle

Moving stablecoins is easy. Managing them at scale across jurisdictions, wallets, chains, and auditors? That’s where it breaks down:

Challenge

Why It Matters for Enterprises

Multi-chain fragmentation

USDC, USDT, and others span 15+ chains with different liquidity and costs.

Policy & controls

Treasury teams need signer limits, velocity caps, and dual approvals, aka: bank-grade workflows.

Real-time reconciliation

Wallets must sync with ERP and billing systems or your month-end close breaks.

Regulatory coverage

Jurisdictional rules shift fast. Teams need always-on compliance.

Auditability

Big Four auditors expect immutability proofs and on-chain record keeping.

Leaving stablecoin operations to engineering side projects invites risk and stalls adoption.

How Stable Sea Simplifies Stablecoin Treasury

Stable Sea Terminal was built to bring digital assets into mainstream treasury operations. We turn stablecoin infrastructure into software your treasury team will actually want to use:

  • Unified Wallet Orchestration
    Manage all wallets, across chains and storage tiers, in one dashboard with automatic network fee optimization.

  • Granular Policy Engine
    Set role-based approvals, time locks, and velocity limits to match internal controls.

  • Real-Time Reconciliation
    Sub-ledgering pipes wallet activity straight into your ERP or general ledger.

  • Compliance Built In
    OFAC screening, travel-rule messaging, and KYB/KYT checks run quietly in the background.

Ready for the Next Wave of Treasury

As stablecoin adoption moves upmarket, the pressure is on to make sure systems, controls, and compliance keep pace. Stable Sea gives treasury teams a better operating layer: programmable, auditable, and enterprise-ready.
