    Where the money went

    Why this matters for stablecoins

    A USD-referenced stablecoin received by a CAD business is converted every time, even when the customer is in Canada. The spread you measure here belongs in the cost comparison as the stablecoin conversion spread. More in wire transfers and FX spreads.

    How to use it

    1. Enter the amount converted and the rate you received.
    2. Enter a mid-market reference rate for the same moment, and any flat fee.
    3. Read the spread in per cent and the total cost in CAD.
