SAP opens testnet registration for cross border payments in stablecoins

SAP opens testnet registration for cross border payments in stablecoins

Although USDC is available on nine blockchains, including Algorand, Solana, and TRON, Schroeder confirmed that the preview phase would use Ethereum only. EUROC has a much smaller token circulation than USDC. It is available on Ethereum and Avalanche.

The current circulations of USDC and EUROC are $28.2 billion and €47.9 million ($52.3 million,) respectively.

Product expert at SAP, Sissi Ruthe, said cross-border payments are difficult for businesses of all sizes. They are expensive, costing up to $50, can take up to seven days to clear, and “you never know the status of the transaction,” she said.

Using digital money via blockchain technology could solve all these problems; Ruthe added that utilizing USDC or EUROC to settle payments instead of the traditional banking network does the job in minutes.

“Technically, each business partner requires a wallet which in the blockchain world is the equivalent of a bank account. These wallets can be held in self-custody, enabling cross-border payments without intermediaries.”

During the “Test Drive,” SAP will run a testnet comprised of test USDC for participants to experience the process of stablecoin settlement and “how easy cross-border payments with Digital Money will become in the future.”
