Recently, I discovered that the overseas version of a leading OTA platform has launched a stablecoin payment feature. Both USDT and USDC are supported, and I tested it directly here in Vietnam — it really works. From placing an order to booking a hotel, the entire process was completed in less than ten minutes.

What does this mean? In the future, when traveling abroad, carrying stablecoins in your wallet might be enough. No more worrying about exchange rates, and no need to exchange currency frequently. Payment confirmation is quick, and funds arrive rapidly.

However, it currently seems to be an exclusive benefit of the overseas version; the domestic version doesn't have this option for now. But this signal is very interesting — it indicates that major platforms are starting to take cryptocurrency payments seriously.

What do you think? If this payment method really becomes widespread, will booking flights, hotels, and renting cars completely change the travel payment experience? Or is it still too early, and full adoption will take some more time?

Complete an order in ten minutes? The depth of liquidity is truly terrifying... Speaking of which, if this really takes off, the days of traditional payment gateways will be tough.

The era of stablecoin payments is really here; the hurdle of exchange rates is finally being overcome. Booking a hotel in ten minutes, this speed is truly amazing. The domestic version hasn't been launched yet, but once this opening is torn open, the potential for future development is huge.

Ten minutes to get it done? Isn't this the future we've been hyping up? Now it's really here. By the way, how much longer do we have to wait for the domestic version? This differential treatment is a bit... forget it, I'm used to it. I'm optimistic about the widespread adoption of stablecoin payments, but not just for travel needs. Mainly, it opens a door, and the subsequent imagination space is huge.

Ten minutes to get it done? This is the real payment revolution. --- Finally, someone is taking action on currency exchange tax. Paying directly with USDT is incredibly smooth. --- When will the domestic version be available? Can't wait any longer. --- Although fast, liquidity and deposit/withdrawal are probably the real bottlenecks. --- Now we no longer have to be killed by exchange rates; it should have been like this a long time ago. --- The overseas version is available, indicating it's not a distant thing. The era of stablecoin payments is truly coming. --- Ten minutes is indeed an incredible speed, but there are still some wallet support issues for stablecoins. --- Finally, leading platforms are daring to take risks; other OTAs won't be far behind. --- When will the domestic market catch up? Always being outperformed by overseas versions. --- If this wave spreads, the overseas travel payment landscape will be completely transformed.

It really only takes ten minutes to get it done, much more enjoyable than traditional payments --- The domestic version still has to wait, the difference is quite big --- Stablecoin travel payments should have come long ago, finally starting to roll out --- Is the overseas version already available? Wow, I need to try it --- Exchange rates and foreign exchange fees are really annoying, now it's a relief --- What does it mean that major platforms are taking this seriously? Regulations might also be loosening --- I find it hard to believe that it can be credited in ten minutes, is it true? --- I love that booking hotels can avoid exchange rate risks --- When will the domestic version be available? Feels like we have to wait a long time --- True large-scale adoption probably still takes two or three years, but the direction is right
