Catherine Gu on why stablecoins are set to transform cross-border payments:
“If you look at things like receivables or accounts payable, we’re looking at 30 days, 40 days lag time for which money actually gets paid. None of those things should actually be true down the road. And this is where blockchain really comes in to power that new kind of financial rail...
Stablecoin is that instrument essentially to be conducted on that. So I would fully expect that there’s going to be a lot more traffic in terms of stablecoin usage for cross-border payments.”
