How Franchisees Use Cryptocurrency for Royalty Payments
from Franchise Conversations with Fexingo: Buying, Running, and Scaling Franchise Businesses · host Fexingo
Franchisees are turning to cryptocurrency to pay royalties, cutting transaction fees and speeding up cross-border transfers. Lucas and Luna examine a real case: a 50-unit QSR franchisee in Dubai that now pays its U.S. franchisor in USDC, saving an estimated $18,000 per year in wire and conversion fees. They break down how stablecoins reduce friction, what the IRS and SEC have said about crypto royalties so far, and why this trend is growing despite regulatory uncertainty. The episode also touches on a second case: a fitness franchisee in Singapore using Bitcoin for deposits. Practical, grounded, not hype-driven. #Cryptocurrency #FranchiseFinance #RoyaltyPayments #Stablecoins #USDC #Bitcoin #Franchisee #Franchisor #Blockchain #CrossBorderPayments #IRS #SEC #CaseStudy #Dubai #QSR #FitnessFranchise #Business #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
