Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2024 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 10, , language: English, abstract: The present study investigates the feasibility of implementing cryptocurrencies in the context of international trade, motivated by a real case of a Caribbean-based company facing challenges in acquiring US dollars to settle invoices in foreign currency. The findings of this study have significant implications for organizations facing similar challenges and contributes to the advancement of international trade payment practices. The aim of this study is to examine the use of cryptocurrencies as an alternative payment method for foreign currency invoices in companies engaged in international trade that encounter difficulties with foreign exchange conversion for the specified payment currency.

Data analysis combined qualitative and quantitative approaches to comprehend currency exchange challenges and cryptocurrency adoption trends. The findings unveiled a diverse landscape, with stakeholders representing different industries and countries participating in the study. A notable revelation is the significant proportion of organizations encountering issues stemming from the availability of foreign exchange (FX), prompting them to explore different solutions. Among the solutions considered, Bitcoin and stablecoins emerged as favored options, attributed to their potential to reduce transaction fees and improve security. However, regulatory uncertainty and the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies presented great obstacles to widespread adoption. Cryptocurrency holds promise in addressing currency exchange challenges in international trade, particularly in regions plagued by FX shortages. Nevertheless, realizing its full potential necessitates collaborative efforts and informed strategies to navigate regulatory complexities and mitigate volatility risks. By doing so, stakeholders can harness the transformative power of cryptocurrency to reshape the global trade landscape effectively. [...]
