Exporters use it to get paid by buyers whose banks are slow or restricted. Importers use it to pay suppliers the same day and secure better pricing. Service businesses use it to collect from clients whose local currency is difficult to convert. Here is how our clients actually use it, and what the settlement flow looks like alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/getshield.xyz\/blog\/latam-usdt-payments-wholesalers\/\">LATAM buyer demand<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group shield-toc is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"shield-toc-h wp-block-paragraph\">In this article<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#real-world-applications-of-usdt-for-international-\">Real-world applications of USDT for international trade<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#why-usdt-is-a-game-changer-for-our-clients\">Why USDT is a Game-Changer for Our Clients<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#exporters-amp-importers\">Exporters &amp; Importers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#international-real-estate\">International Real Estate:<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#remittances\">Remittances<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#your-next-step-with-shield-and-usdt\">Your Next Step with Shield and USDT<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"real-world-applications-of-usdt-for-international-\">Real-world applications of USDT for international trade<\/h2>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-usdt-is-a-game-changer-for-our-clients\">Why USDT is a Game-Changer for Our Clients<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s fast-paced global economy, navigating international transactions can be a headache, whether you&#8217;re an exporter, a real estate investor, or a freelancer. But with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/learn\/what-is-tether-how-usdt-works-and-what-backs-its-value\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDT<\/a>, things don\u2019t have to be so complicated. Our clients are finding that USDT isn\u2019t just another cryptocurrency; it&#8217;s a practical tool that streamlines payments, cuts costs, and protects them from the financial instability that traditional banking can bring. At Shield, we\u2019re proud to help our clients leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/tether.to\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDT<\/a> to make their financial operations smoother, faster, and more efficient.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"exporters-amp-importers\">Exporters &amp; Importers<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">USDT\u2019s fast settlement times and cheap transaction fees make it a great payment solution for i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/beyond-borders-how-stablecoins-changing-global-payments-dr8se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mporters and exporters<\/a>. However, exporters in the United States may prefer to receive wires and not deal with crypto. Shield helps solve this problem by paying out same-day wires to exporters or importers who may have international clients that want to transact with USDT.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, some of our clients are electronics exporters based in the United States that have international buyers. These buyers want to import iPhones, laptops, and other consumer electronics while paying with USDT. Shield facilitates these types of transactions by allowing the buyer to pay with USDT while the U.S.-based exporter receives a same-day wire.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shield\u2019s payment products flawlessly integrate USDT and bank wires for international transactions. We empower our clients to capitalize on the speed and cost-efficiency of USDT while seamlessly accessing compliant banking solutions. Payment timelines that may have taken multiple days are cut to one day for all parties.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"international-real-estate\">International Real Estate:<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s real estate market is global. The United States&#8217; real estate market is often seen as a lucrative opportunity for international investors. Many U.S. residents may also have international ties due to its history of migration. USDT helps make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xerof.com\/news\/real-estate-purchase-with-tether-usdt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real estate transactions<\/a> fast and at lower costs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one of our hardworking clients, their investment in the U.S. real estate market paid off significantly. They were ready to sell their house, and they were considering investing this money back in Korea. However, moving this money from the U.S. banking system to the Korean banking system would cause headaches and require high fees.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shield once again helps empower our clients by allowing them to use USDT to facilitate real estate transactions. We helped our client convert the proceeds from the sale of their house to USDT. They could now convert this USDT to Korean won for a better FX rate and lower fees than the banks offer. It works the other way around too. Shield can help international buyers liquidate <a href=\"https:\/\/academy.binance.com\/en\/articles\/what-is-tether-usdt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">USDT<\/a> into a U.S. bank account to show proof of funds to buy real estate. Our products help our clients buy and sell international real estate using crypto.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"remittances\">Remittances<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shield\u2019s clients are also international freelancers and business owners that are getting paid in U.S. dollars. However, they don\u2019t live in the U.S. and want to use their money back in the country where they live. Exchanging U.S. dollars for foreign currencies, as mentioned earlier, can be expensive and take multiple days using traditional banking methods.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the case for our Argentinian clients, who have LLCs in the United States that offer software development services. Argentina\u2019s banking system is notorious for high fees and terrible FX rates. Many Argentinians would rather hold their money in USDT. Argentina has experienced decades of inflation that has pounded the Peso. For many, USDT serves as a crucial hedge against the inflationary pressures of the Argentine Peso.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shield helps our Argentinian and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/stablecoin-tether-gets-boost-dollar-alternative-emerging-markets-ceo-says-2024-04-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international clients<\/a> by converting their earnings in their business bank account to USDT. Our low fees and fast transaction times make getting paid internationally faster than ever before.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-next-step-with-shield-and-usdt\">Your Next Step with Shield and USDT<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our clients know the value of staying ahead of the curve, and integrating USDT into their financial strategies is just one way they\u2019re doing that. Whether you\u2019re dealing with cross-border payments, real estate deals, or simply trying to get paid for your hard work, USDT can make the process faster, cheaper, and more secure. At Shield, we\u2019re here to make sure you get the most out of this innovative solution.
