Hyundai Motor wraps up USDT treasury transfer pilot between U.S. and Mexico units
Hyundai Motor has completed a proof-of-concept applying Tether\'s USDT to cross-border treasury transfers between its U.S. and Mexico units. The two entities processed a $20,000 payment on the Avalanche blockchain in about 7 minutes. The U.S. unit converted funds into USDT and sent them to the Mexico unit, which converted them back into U.S. dollars. The project assessed whether stablecoin settlement can be integrated into corporate treasury operations without changes to governance, compliance or accounting procedures.
