Methodology & Source Notes
Circle — Multi-chain (15 networks incl. ETH, SOL, BASE, AVAX, ARC). Mint: 0%. Net Minter (mint=redeem within 30d): base 5 bps = $0 — only overage applies (+2 bps on net daily $40M–$100M; +5 bps above $100M). Ex: $50M net = $2,000 overage only. Redeem-only: full 5 bps + overage tiers. FX (EURC/USDC native): 1–3 bps institutional. Eff. 15 Mar 2026.
BVNK — Tier-1 institutional (Citi-class, $50M–$250M): 5 bps on-ramp + 8 bps FX = ~13 bps all-in. SaaS ($3,500/mo) waived at this tier, bundled into spread. Standard mid-market: 50 bps on-ramp + 40 bps FX + $17.50/tx SaaS. MiCA EU EMI + FCA UK. Q1 2026 research.
Zero Hash — 0.15% on-ramp + 15 bps FX = ~30 bps all-in (institutional entry point). Deep Tier ($500M+/mo): ~7–10 bps all-in achievable. Platform $0.75/tx institutional. FinCEN MSB + 48-state MTLs. Rates shown: standard institutional entry.
Bridge (Stripe) — 0.50% on-ramp + 10 bps FX = ~60 bps all-in (institutional entry, vs 1.5%+15 bps standard). Deep Tier ($500M+/mo): ~0.15%–0.20% on-ramp + 5–8 bps FX via Stripe enterprise desk. Rates shown: entry level.
Triple-A — MAS PSP-licensed (Singapore). 0.50% institutional. $0.50 flat settlement. FX 40–60 bps. Best for APAC corridors (SGD, AUD, JPY). Rates reflect published enterprise card.
SWIFT + FedWire — Shown as indicative reference row. Institutional FX rate: 0.075% (JPMorgan/Goldman/Deutsche Bank bracket); standard retail: 1.50%. These are estimates only — actual wholesale rates are bank-negotiated, corridor-specific, and may differ materially. Correspondent banking fees, nostro/vostro charges, intermediary bank fees, and SWIFT GPI surcharges are excluded. FedWire: $25 base (US origination). Settlement TTA: SWIFT MT103 T+1–T+5; SWIFT GPI can achieve same-day (T+0) for major bank pairs but is not universal. Do not use the SWIFT row for binding cost comparison — treat as directional reference only.
KYT / AML — Individual: $0.50/tx (Chainalysis Advanced / Elliptic Navigator / TRM Labs). Batch / Inter-company: $0.15/tx (bulk screening for internal corridors). Enterprise bundle: $0.08/tx ($500M+/mo annual contract). Select tier above.
Gas (Mar 2026) — Ethereum excluded (high gas overhead ~$2.50/tx, inefficient for large institutional blocks). Active networks: SOL $0.001, Base L2 $0.020, Avalanche C-Chain $0.050, Arc $0.025 est. (mainnet projected Q4 2026; range $0.01–$0.05 per research). Spot estimates; institutional providers may batch.
