#数字资产市场动态 On Christmas Day, there's an interesting development—Ctrip's international version has started supporting USDT and USDC payments.

This is not an isolated phenomenon. Think about what has happened recently: Alibaba Cloud International accepted TRC-20 form U payments, BYD is promoting stablecoin solutions in overseas markets, Xiaomi and SEI are collaborating to pre-install wallets directly into phones… One after another, major Chinese internet companies are beginning to deploy digital asset application scenarios overseas.

What’s interesting about Ctrip’s move is, as one of the world's largest online travel platforms, what does integrating stablecoin payments mean? Users can directly book flights and hotels using USDT or USDC, eliminating the need for currency exchange. It’s truly convenient for international travelers—especially those who already hold stablecoins in their wallets.

But it’s also worth pondering— from the perspective of payment liquidity, once large-scale stablecoin payment channels are opened, how should the risk control chain be designed? This is a question worth paying attention to.

Big companies are piling into stablecoins, are they serious about this?

Major companies are going overseas to implement stablecoin payments, this pace is quite impressive --- Ctrip dares to accept USDT, indicating that liquidity issues have been addressed, but is the risk control really solid enough? --- Another big company is on board, it seems stablecoin payments are becoming the standard --- Saving on remittance fees is great, but I worry about potential policy changes someday --- At this speed... Chinese internet giants expanding overseas with stablecoin payments is getting intense --- Using USDT to book hotels directly? Wallet enthusiasts are laughing --- The key still depends on how risk control is implemented; will there be strict limits? --- Xiaomi, BYD, Ctrip are all here, it feels like 2024 will be truly different --- Once liquidity opens up, regulatory issues will be the main concern --- The rapid deployment of stablecoin payment channels is quite interesting

Big companies are quietly laying the groundwork. Once U Pay is opened, risk control becomes a real issue.

Big companies are really starting to compete in stablecoins, Ctrip's move is interesting. If risk control isn't properly addressed, there will be trouble later on. Another USDT application scenario, gradually penetrating. Saving on exchange fees sounds good, but the real players have been doing this for a long time. Pre-installed wallet? Xiaomi, what are you learning? Exchange process? lol, the ultimate goal of stablecoins is to eliminate this step. Once large-scale payments are open, what does the regulation side think? Overseas deployment of stablecoins, are Chinese tech giants collectively awakening? Risk control design hasn't kept up; trouble is inevitable. Is Ctrip adopting USDT seriously or just testing the waters? The real opportunity is on the B2B side; the C-end scenario feels a bit虚.
