Where you lose 30% of turnover in crypto payments

Why the wrong USDT network 'burns' your clients

The most popular tool in the world of crypto payments today is the digital dollar (USDT). However, it's critically important for businesses to understand which 'postal route' the client uses to send that money. This is often where the first cause of revenue loss hides.

• Ethereum network (ERC-20): This is the 'premium' route with unjustifiably high costs. One transaction can cost from $15 to $25. If your client wants to make a $100 deposit, they're unlikely to agree to give up a quarter of the amount just for the transfer. Result — payment abandoned.
• TRON network (TRC-20): The optimal standard for retail. A fixed fee of $1–2 makes this method mass-market and convenient for most users.
• Layer 2 networks (Polygon, Arbitrum): Here the transfer cost is less than 10 cents.

As soon as you give clients the option to use fast and cheap networks (TRON or Polygon), the average transaction size and number of deposits grow 2–3x. Payments stop being 'cut off' at checkout, and you capture the revenue that was previously disappearing into thin air.

How to open the doors for VIP clients and protect revenue from volatility

Holders of large capital prefer to keep assets in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana. If your service doesn't accept these coins, you're voluntarily turning away the most solvent audience.

The main business fear here is the 'volatile' nature of cryptocurrencies. While a payment is being confirmed on the blockchain, the rate can fall, and instead of the expected profit you get minus 10% on your balance. We solve this with a technology-driven approach:

• Automatic rate locking: You don't need to watch charts or work as a trader. Our system instantly converts the volatile coin into a stable digital dollar (USDT).
• Predictable result: The client pays with whatever asset they have on hand, and you receive a fixed, pre-known dollar amount in your account.

You open 'wide gates' for crypto millionaires, while your net profit is fully insured against any market crashes. This is a safe way to work with large transactions, keeping your company's financial performance worry-free.

Why slow settlements and 'dirty' coins are costing you revenue

Even if a client is ready to pay, funds can 'hang' or cause serious problems with regulators. Here are two critical factors that cost companies up to 30% of turnover every month:

• Time factor and 'cooling off': If after sending crypto a person waits more than 10 minutes for confirmation, they start getting nervous or lose interest in the purchase altogether. In modern business, a payment must be almost instant. A slow system is a direct path to losing loyalty and losing clients from your sales funnel.
• Block risks and AML verification: In the blockchain environment, there's a risk of accepting 'dirty' coins involved in suspicious operations. If such funds reach your corporate wallet, an exchange may block all your revenue pending investigation.

How Custodex solves this: We use smart AML systems that automatically check every incoming transaction for cleanliness. Thanks to instant confirmations and the absence of block risks, customer drop-off at the payment stage decreases by 30–40%.
