The 24 questions every stablecoin provider evaluation should answer

A source-ready scorecard covering eligibility, money flow, security, compliance, accounting, and commercial terms.

01

Eligibility and legal entity

Identify the exact contracting entity, jurisdictions served, licenses or registrations relied upon, prohibited industries, onboarding requirements, and which features are available to your business today.

  • Which legal entity holds or moves funds?
  • Which regulator or licensing framework applies?
  • What countries, states, business types, and transaction corridors are excluded?
  • What happens if eligibility changes after launch?
02

Money flow and custody

Diagram every step from payer funding through conversion, settlement, custody, and withdrawal. Name who controls each wallet or account and where customer or company funds sit at each stage.

03

Operations and evidence

Ask for approval controls, roles, limits, logs, webhook behavior, reconciliation exports, service support, incident procedures, recovery, and the contract terms governing failed or delayed transfers.

04

Commercial integrity

Separate platform, conversion, network, payout, withdrawal, support, minimum-volume, implementation, and termination costs. Model the cost using your own transaction mix.
