Stablecoins for Payments: Faster, Lower Cost Cross-Border Transactions
• Currency InsiderTechnology's influence is growing exponentially, and it has already modernized countless industries—from medicine and commerce to manufacturing and agriculture.

In 2022 alone, fiat-backed stablecoins processed almost $7 trillion, surpassing Mastercard and Paypal in transaction volume.
