💵 STABLECOINS MOVED ABOUT $35 TRILLION IN 2025.
⚠️ SO WHY ARE THEY STILL BARELY VISIBLE IN GLOBAL TRADE?
The numbers tell an interesting story.
Stablecoins are no longer a small experiment.

Around $35 trillion in stablecoin transactions were recorded in 2025.
Yet estimates suggest only around $390 billion represented actual payment-related flows.

Put that against an estimated ~$1 quadrillion annual cross-border payments market, and the gap becomes enormous.
So the technology exists.
The liquidity exists.
The transactions are already happening.

But real-world commercial adoption is still relatively small.

There are signs this may be changing.

Research by Artemis found B2B stablecoin payments running at approximately

$36 billion annually in early 2025 — up 315% year-on-year within its dataset.

And around 80% of stablecoin payment volume in that study was conducted using USDT.

So why hasn't international trade moved faster?

One reason may be that moving money and settling a trade are not the same thing.
A USD 10 million commodity transaction is not simply:
Buyer → $10M → Seller.

It can involve banks, KYC and AML checks, sanctions screening, documentary conditions, inspection, title transfer, credit risk and trade finance.

Stablecoins potentially solve one important part of that chain:
moving value across borders quickly and 24/7.

But they do not automatically solve everything surrounding the transaction.

And there is another interesting number:
Around 98% of stablecoin value is denominated in US dollars.

So stablecoins may not represent a move away from the dollar at all.

They could represent a new infrastructure for moving dollars.
The gap is therefore fascinating:
$35T in stablecoin activity.
~$390B in payment-related flows.
~$1 quadrillion in global cross-border payments.

The rails exist.
What is stopping international trade from using them at scale?
Regulation? Compliance? Banking integration? Counterparty risk? Or simply time?

What’s your view — would you settle a real international trade transaction in stablecoins?

❔ HOW LNG CROSSES AN OCEAN
🔥 Natural gas is an efficient pipeline commodity. LNG is what makes it a maritime one.

To move gas across an ocean, the industry temporarily changes its physical state.

First, the gas is treated to remove water, CO₂, H₂S and other components that become problematic at cryogenic temperatures. Then it is cooled to around −162°C until it becomes liquid.

That changes the economics completely.

In liquid form, natural gas occupies roughly 1/600th of its gaseous volume. The same molecule becomes compact enough to move by ship at scale.

The LNG then enters cryogenic storage and is loaded onto a specialized carrier. A modern vessel may carry around 170,000–175,000 m³ of LNG; a 174,000 m³ cargo represents on the order of 100 million m³ of natural gas after regasification, depending on composition and reference conditions.

An LNG carrier is essentially a floating cryogenic transport system.

Some vessels use Moss-type spherical tanks. Others use membrane containment systems integrated into the hull. Different engineering, same job: keep a massive cargo safely contained near −162°C for thousands of nautical miles.

And the cargo is not static.

Heat slowly enters the tanks, causing a small amount of LNG to vaporize as boil-off gas, or BOG. Depending on vessel design, BOG can be used as fuel, reliquefied or otherwise managed while tank pressure and cargo conditions are controlled.

This is where engineering becomes trading.

Pipelines are fixed. Ships move.

Once LNG is afloat, destination economics can depend on freight, sailing time, fuel, boil-off, canal costs, terminal access, delivery windows and contract flexibility.

A higher headline price does not always mean a better trade.

At destination, the process runs in reverse.

The LNG is unloaded into cryogenic storage, passed through vaporizers and converted back into natural gas. It is then measured, conditioned and injected into the local pipeline network for power generation, industry, petrochemicals, businesses and homes.

Scale one cargo to the global market:
428 MT of LNG imports in 2025.
524 MTPA of liquefaction capacity.
1,247 MTPA of regasification capacity.
899 LNG vessels.

35% of global imports traded on a spot basis.

Every cargo still follows the same physical chain:
Gas → Treatment → −162°C → Liquefaction → Storage → Ship → Ocean → Regasification → Gas again.

LNG does not change what natural gas is.

It changes where natural gas can economically go.

Same molecule. Different state. Different geography.

🚆 A COMMODITY ISN’T REALLY TRADEABLE
🌍 UNTIL SOMEONE CAN MOVE IT.
A mine can produce it.
A buyer can want it.
A benchmark can price it.
None of that completes the transaction.

Between origin and destination sit the parts of physical trade that rarely make the headline:
- Commercial structure.
- Quality control.
- Finance.
- Logistics.
- Documentation.
- Ex*****on.

That is where physical supply becomes a completed trade.
Origin. Trading. Ex*****on.

From physical supply to global markets.

💲 THE PRICE IS AGREED.
🤝 EVERYONE SHAKES HANDS.
⚡ NOW THE HARD PART STARTS.

Because a commodity transaction is not complete when the commercial terms look good.

The material still has to match specification.
Inspection has to work.
Financing has to close.
Documents have to be correct.
Logistics have to perform.
And the cargo still has to arrive.

Price creates the opportunity.
Ex*****on creates the outcome.

That is why physical commodity trading is an ex*****on business.
Not a negotiation business.

🚨 FOR YEARS, “EFFICIENCY” MEANT REMOVING EVERYTHING THAT LOOKED EXPENSIVE.

Extra inventory.
Alternative suppliers.
Spare capacity.
Multiple routes.

Then the world discovered why they existed.

Pandemics. Sanctions. Shipping disruptions. Export controls. Geopolitical risk.

🌐 Today, companies are rebuilding what they once tried to eliminate:
redundancy.

The cheapest supply chain is not always the strongest one.

And the lowest-cost origin is not always the safest commercial decision.

The question is changing from: “How cheap can we make it?”
to: “Can we still get it when we need it?”

EVERYONE WANTS THE METAL.
FAR FEWER WANT TO BUILD THE MINE.

Governments want supply security.

Industry wants more copper, lithium, nickel and strategic minerals.
Investors want returns.

But new supply does not appear because demand forecasts went up.

It requires geology, permits, infrastructure, capital, processing capacity, logistics — and years of ex*****on.

That is the contradiction behind the critical-minerals race:
Demand can accelerate quickly.
Supply cannot.

The winners may not be the countries with the largest resources.

They may be the ones that can actually bring new supply to market.

THE CHEAPEST TONNE AT ORIGIN CAN BECOME THE MOST EXPENSIVE TONNE AT DESTINATION.

That is one of the easiest mistakes to make in physical trade.

A low purchase price looks attractive.

Then come freight.
Port costs.
Finance.
Quality adjustments.
Delays.
Working capital.
Ex*****on risk.

And suddenly the “cheap” cargo is no longer cheap.

Experienced traders do not look at purchase price alone.

They look at delivered economics.

The best price is not always the best trade.

What destroys more margin in your experience — freight, time or quality?
