Corporate treasury management in 2026 is no longer just a simple game of bank deposits. Currently, over 134 publicly listed companies worldwide have incorporated crypto assets into their financial reports, with 73 institutions leveraging stablecoin collateralization and RWA (Real-World Asset) financial products to activate idle funds. What does this reflect? Companies are voting with their feet, shifting from traditional cash reserves toward diversified digital assets.
How deep are the pain points in traditional treasury management? Three sets of numbers tell the story clearly. On the revenue side, in a global low-interest-rate environment, bank deposits yield less than 2% annually, with inflation directly eroding purchasing power. On the efficiency side, cross-border payments still rely on SWIFT, with fees of 3%-5% and settlement times of 3-5 business days—globalized companies can’t sit still anymore. On the risk side, holding a single fiat currency reserve faces exchange rate fluctuations, and traditional financial products are highly homogeneous, making risk diversification difficult with limited tools.
What are the current solutions? A leading ecosystem has launched a digital treasury solution, centered on "compliant storage + global settlement + diversified financial products + risk hedging," providing an all-in-one service. Stablecoins are backed 100% by reserves, ensuring principal safety. Cross-border settlements are settled in seconds, with costs reduced to below 1%. By combining RWA assets and multi-currency portfolios, companies can lock in annual cash yields of 5%-9% while hedging against exchange rate risks.
On the books, this solution prevents idle funds from lying dormant, making financial statements more flexible. The key is the improved settlement efficiency, which provides real time and cost advantages for global operations. This is the true face of modern corporate treasury management.

wait, so 134 companies already filing crypto on balance sheets? empirically speaking, that's way faster adoption than most governance models ever achieve. but ngl the "100% reserve backing" claim needs actual audit data, not vibes

The 2% return from banks is really laughable. It's about time for on-chain solutions to step in. 134 publicly listed companies are already involved, and we're still just saving in fixed deposits?

Bank deposits with an annualized interest rate below 2%? Haha, they should have been eliminated long ago. Companies have truly awakened.

134 listed companies included in their financial reports. What does this indicate? More and more players, the SWIFT system is really outdated.
---
Locking in 5%-9% cash returns? Sounds good, but it depends on how solid the risk control behind it is.
---
Cross-border instant transfers under 1% cost. If this can truly operate stably, traditional payment systems should be worried.
---
Diversified wealth management sounds great, but I’m just worried it’s another scheme to cut the leeks, just with a different disguise.
---
Compliance storage, 100% reserves... These promises are always made, but the key is whether they can really be fulfilled.
---
From SWIFT’s 3-5 day transfers to instant arrivals, that efficiency gap is really not a small difference.

RWA + stablecoin risk hedging? Feels like they’re just giving risk a new disguise.
