On/off-ramp friction points for broader adoption

Been looking at the integration challenges for stablecoins into existing fintech infrastructure, specifically on the merchant side. The bridging solutions are there, but the real choke point still seems to be the on/off-ramps, particularly for larger transaction volumes or geographies with tighter capital controls. What are folks seeing as the primary hurdles for merchants trying to accept something like $USDC directly, beyond the usual regulatory compliance? It's not just about the tech, but the operational overhead and user experience for the end consumer. Still feels clunky for anything outside of crypto-native users.

That's a solid point. I think the regulatory uncertainty around stablecoin classification in various jurisdictions adds another layer of complexity for institutional adoption, which trickles down to merchant confidence and integration efforts.

While on/off-ramp issues are certainly valid, I'd argue that regulatory uncertainty across different jurisdictions is a more significant, foundational hurdle for broad merchant adoption than the technical friction of the ramps themselves. Until that clears up, the on/off-ramps will always feel precarious.
