As global trade becomes increasingly complex and digital, the supply chain industry faces many pain points, including opaque capital flows, long settlement cycles, exchange rate risks, and high transaction costs. These problems not only increase the operating costs of companies, but also limit the flexibility and efficiency of the supply chain. In this context, the US dollar stablecoin settlement system, especially the solution represented by “PYUSD”, is gradually becoming an effective way to solve these pain points.
1. Analysis of pain points in the global supply chain industry
The global supply chain industry has long faced five major pain points, which have become more prominent in the post-epidemic era:
Cost Control: Due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation caused by excessive currency issuance in various countries, and resource crises caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the costs of raw materials, finished products, logistics, and labor have continued to rise. It is difficult for companies to effectively control costs, resulting in a squeeze on profit margins.
Supply Chain Visibility: The global supply chain is long and multi-linked, with various data islands and a lack of information collaboration mechanisms and willingness between upstream and downstream businesses, which restricts the visualization of the supply chain. It is difficult for companies to grasp the situation of each link in the supply chain in real time, resulting in delayed decision-making and low operational efficiency.
Risk Management: There are many non-standardized documents and processes in supply chain management, such as inconsistent formats of consignment letters and inconsistent coding of global ports by liner companies. At the same time, the uneven availability of data and the level of technology application have brought severe challenges to the risk management of supply chain companies.
Customer Intimacy: Customer needs change with changes in social, economic, environmental and other conditions. How to understand changes in customer needs in advance and deliver the right products to customers at the right price and in a reasonable time has become another major pain point for supply chain companies.
Globalization:The continuous adjustment of the global industrial chain has brought about problems such as unstable delivery, extended delivery time and reduced product quality. It is difficult for companies to achieve smooth operation of the supply chain on a global scale, which has affected market competitiveness and customer satisfaction.
2. Introduction to the USD Stablecoin Settlement System
The US dollar stablecoin settlement system is a system that uses stablecoins pegged to the US dollar (such as PYUSD) for cross-border payments and settlements. The system combines traditional finance with cryptocurrency technology by introducing cryptocurrency service providers to provide efficient, secure and transparent payment and settlement solutions for the supply chain.
PYUSD is issued by PayPal, fully backed by legal assets (U.S. Treasuries, cash and equivalents), and is held by State Street Bank and Trust Company and customer banks. As a US dollar stablecoin, PYUSD maintains a 1:1 anchor relationship with the US dollar and has a high degree of stability and convertibility. Through PYUSD, companies can achieve faster and safer capital circulation, reduce exchange rate risks, and improve capital utilization efficiency.
3. Introduction to Charles Cas’s global supply chain financial service platform
Founded in the heart of California, close to Silicon Valley, the cradle of financial technology, Charles Cas is on a mission to change the way the world handles cross-border trade. Charles Cas uses the power of digital dollar stablecoins such as PYUSD, PAX and USDG to build a global cryptocurrency cross-border trade settlement system and global supply chain financial service platform based on digital dollar stablecoins. This series of initiatives is gradually subverting traditional trade settlement methods with its unparalleled efficiency, security and transparency.
4. How does PYUSD solve the industry pain points of the global supply chain?
1. Reduce transaction costs and improve capital utilization efficiency
Traditional cross-border payments involve multiple intermediaries, such as banks and payment processors, which result in high transaction costs and cumbersome processes. The PYUSD settlement system uses blockchain technology to achieve decentralized payment and settlement, eliminating intermediaries and greatly reducing transaction costs. At the same time, the stability and convertibility of PYUSD allow companies to convert and settle funds in real time, improving the efficiency of capital utilization.
By introducing the PYUSD settlement system, Charles Cas has helped upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain achieve instant payment and settlement. After receiving a transaction order, merchants can quickly convert PYUSD into local currency, which greatly shortens the settlement cycle and reduces the cost of capital occupation.
2. Improve supply chain visibility
The PYUSD settlement system achieves transparency and traceability of transaction information through the distributed ledger characteristics of blockchain technology. Enterprises can view transaction records and capital flows in all links of the supply chain in real time, improving the visualization of the supply chain. This transparency helps enterprises to promptly discover and solve potential problems and optimize the supply chain management process.
Charles Cas cooperates with cryptocurrency service providers to use blockchain technology to provide real-time transaction information query services for upstream and downstream enterprises in the supply chain. Enterprises can view transaction records, capital status and other information in real time through Charles Cas’s platform, realizing comprehensive visualization of the supply chain.
3. Strengthen risk management capabilities
The PYUSD settlement system realizes automatic transaction execution and risk control through the combination of smart contracts and blockchain technology. Enterprises can set transaction conditions and risk thresholds according to their own needs. Once the conditions are triggered, transactions will be automatically executed or risk prevention and control measures will be taken. This automated risk management method greatly reduces the risk of human error and fraud.
Charles Cas uses the PYUSD settlement system to provide intelligent risk management services for upstream and downstream companies in the supply chain.
