Unlocking Mid Market Global Trade with Haycen Stablecoins

Executive Summary

As we enter 2026, fully reserved, institutionally managed stablecoins and tokenised cash are emerging as core 'digital cash' rails for institutional settlement and Haycen brings these rails into the mid-market trade corridor as a key vertical that fuels the movement of physical goods around the world.

Global trade underpins the world economy, yet the financial infrastructure supporting it is increasingly constrained. Banks have capped their exposure to trade finance at approximately $150 billion, while global trade requires over $2 trillion of liquidity annually. This mismatch has created a structural financing gap, slowing supply chains and increasing costs—particularly for mid-market trade participants.

At the same time, trade finance funds experience 6–10x more demand for transactions than available assets under management, creating a need for faster capital deployment without compromising risk or compliance.

Haycen addresses this imbalance through our regulated USD-denominated stablecoin infrastructure (USDhm) purpose-built for trade finance. By enabling liquidity, settlement, and payments to operate on instant, transparent rails, Haycen increases capital velocity, enhances returns by an additional 4–5%, and reinforces USD dominance across global supply chains—while operating in parallel with banks and existing trade finance frameworks.
