If you’re trying to get treasury to sign off on a blockchain-based, tokenized payables solution, you need to speak their language: measurable KPIs that directly map to risk reduction, cost savings, liquidity management, and operational...

When I first proposed a tokenized invoice program to a corporate treasury team, I learned quickly that enthusiasm for innovation only takes you so far. Treasury wants facts, not promises. They need to see how a tokenized invoice program will affect liquidity, credit risk, accounting, controls, and regulatory exposure — and they want measurable, comparable metrics that fit into their existing decision framework.Below I share the exact metrics...

I remember the first time a supplier asked if we could get paid faster in exchange for a small discount. It sounded like a simple win-win, but the internal questions from treasury—counterparty risk, cash flow impact, accounting treatment—quickly turned the idea into a complex approval process. Fast forward a few years: tokenization and blockchain tools now make supplier financing both operationally efficient and transparent. In this article...

When I first started exploring how programmable money and stablecoins could change cross-border B2B payments, I was driven by a simple frustration: why does sending an invoice to a supplier on the other side of the world still take days, carry unpredictable FX costs and sometimes feel like a game of telephone between banks? Over the last few years I’ve piloted solutions with finance teams, vendors and fintech partners, and I can say...
