PSPs holding $800K-1.2M USDT permanently on the balance sheet. Earning: $0.

This is the silent margin gap no one talks about while $BTC runs.

The structural reality:

- PSPs across 10+ countries carry this buffer permanently

- Instant settlement guarantees require it — non-negotiable

- But "necessary" does not mean "free"

- Every competitor restructuring their treasury gains margin you do not

What the math looks like:

- $1M USDT idle for 12 months = dead capital vs any yield alternative

- Minimum threshold for corporate lending products: 600,000 USDT

- Minimum terms: 10 days

- Liquidity position does not need to change

The buffer still deploys for settlements. It just stops pretending to be furniture.

Dead weight is optional.
