On/off-ramp risk for smaller merchants accepting stablecoins - how do you manage it?
Hey everyone, I'm still wrapping my head around the practicalities for smaller businesses accepting stablecoin payments. The on/off-ramp solutions are getting better, but I'm thinking about the real-world risk for a local shop. If they accept $USDT or $USDC, and they need to convert a significant chunk to fiat to pay suppliers or rent, what's the best way for them to manage the potential for liquidity issues or even brief de-pegs during that conversion? Are there specific providers or strategies you've seen work well for mitigating this specific fiat conversion risk for non-crypto-native merchants?

It's the classic crypto catch-22, isn't it? You get the benefit of stablecoins for transactions, then face the volatility of fiat on-ramps to actually pay for things in the real world. Almost makes you miss the good old days of just watching your bank account dwindle, no conversion fees needed.
