Today, we hear from Raj Kamal (Founder & CEO of TransFi) on how stablecoins are making global payments faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. 🌎💱 https://lnkd.in/gFmxJkcB - A new generation of crypto could replace the rigid and antiquated SWIFT system for international payments. Using stablecoins, businesses can move money around the world almost instantly, with greater certainty, and at lower cost. - Because the value of stablecoins is pegged to a national currency, often the US dollar, these digital assets do not fluctuate or invite speculation the way Bitcoin and many other cryptos do. The volume of cross-border payments made using stablecoins has grown tenfold since 2020, to $2.5 trillion annually. - To further cement the use of stablecoins and unlock their significant benefits, we need smart, sensible regulation in the US. Stablecoins need to preserve their stability and be protected against criminals, terrorists, and other bad actors who are looking for untraceable ways to move money. #transfi #stablecoins #crypto #quietcapital #venturecapital
