Yesterday in Ho Chi Minh City, a friend sent me a message: "Look! A major travel platform now accepts USDT for booking rooms!" I was half skeptical and gave it a try—chose a decent hotel, paid with USDT from my wallet, and within less than 10 minutes, I received the booking confirmation email. At that moment, I truly felt like a person from the future: no currency exchange needed, no gambling on exchange rate fluctuations, completely bypassing traditional banks.

But the excitement only lasted 10 minutes.

When I opened the industry data dashboard to check the flow of stablecoins, a more important question suddenly hit me: "If crypto payments are really going to take off, how can I seize the opportunity instead of just being a consumer?"

**What does the integration of a major OTA mean?**

On the surface, it adds more payment options, but at a deeper level, it’s entirely different. According to the latest data, in the past month, the number of multinational companies worldwide supporting USDT payments has surged by 37%, with the travel, e-commerce, and SaaS sectors being the most concentrated—this is no longer "geeks playing around," but a calm business decision.

A phenomenal shift is happening: traditional consumers are encountering stablecoins for the first time because "booking hotels is easier," and each of their transactions is recorded on the chain. This process will accumulate massive on-chain data, and those who have already laid out plans are preparing for this wave of benefits.

When the payment channels are connected and application scenarios expand, the liquidity ecosystem of stablecoins will truly activate. The question is no longer "Will it become popular?" but "Are you already keeping up?"
