Using bitcoin for international payments potentially increases payment speed and security, reduces costs, and helps to protect businesses from currency volatility in some countries. However, limited international acceptance of bitcoin currently makes it difficult for companies to work entirely in bitcoin. Using bitcoin thus exposes companies to FX risk, which can be significant because of bitcoin’s exchange rate volatility, and for which at present there are few hedging tools. However, as cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based payment systems are more widely adopted, bitcoin seems likely to become an important part of an ever-changing global payments landscape.
