Cross-border payments remain one of the most fragmented parts of the global financial system. Even as global cross-border payment flows are projected to exceed USD 250 trillion annually in the coming years, international transactions often remain slow, expensive, opaque, and reliant on complex correspondent banking networks.
At the same time, stablecoins are emerging as a new settlement layer for global money movement, with growing adoption across remittances, ecommerce, treasury operations, and payouts. Yet stablecoins are not a universal solution. Some regions already benefit from highly efficient real-time payment infrastructure, while others continue to face FX friction, limited banking access, and settlement inefficiencies. The key question is no longer whether stablecoins will influence cross-border payments, but where they create the greatest value, how regulation will shape adoption, and which use cases are most likely to scale.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on the evolution of cross-border payments and the growing role of stablecoins in global payment flows. |
