In the Axiyym case, “MSBs themselves do not operate onchain,” Axiyym CEO Khibar Russel told Cointelegraph. Instead, “Axiym connects their existing avalanche payment operations behind the scenes using blockchain to automatically, move, and manage capital better.”

“Under the hood, Axiyym has built an application that provides credit to global MSBs using stablecoins to power payments-these transactions occur in Avalanche C-chain,” said Krapetsky, added:

“It allows the provision of real-time allocation of liquid cross-border that will be difficult or expensive by legacy payment railroads or slower blockchains.”
