There is a rarely known trick circulating in the industry. Many KOLs, if they don't want to take on advertising, simply tell the project team to settle payments using ETH, BNB, or SOL — this trick can basically make the other party back off.

The reason is simple: most institutions and project teams rely on USDT for their payment systems. When they suddenly encounter a need to settle with other currencies, their logistical processes can't be quickly adjusted. Instead of fussing over it, the usual approach for project teams is to switch to a more cooperative KOL. This inadvertently becomes a covert rejection card for KOLs — they don't have to burn bridges or openly refuse.

This reflects a current reality of on-chain transactions: how solid is the USDT payment position, and what barriers exist for other currencies as settlement media. BNB, SOL, ETH — these top public chain tokens, no matter how popular, are still secondary in B-end payment systems.
