Definition
Business-to-Consumer Stablecoin Payment is a stablecoin payment or payout from a business to an individual consumer, such as a refund, reward, benefit, claim, or withdrawal. It differs from a merchant sale because the business is the sender and consumer-protection, identity, disclosure, and payout controls may apply. In practice, the parties define the payment obligation, stablecoin and network, reference currency, rate and fee treatment, destination, confirmation standard, settlement route, and redemption or conversion plan. The main risk is that the transfer is fast but the token depegs, the issuer or custodian restricts funds, the wrong representation is used, or cross-border obligations are overlooked.
