Industry leaders and experts recently convened at The Stable Conference to discuss the evolving role of stablecoins in global finance, particularly in cross-border payments. The panel featured executives from companies including Acctual, Dakota_xyz, Paxos, Rise Pay, and Coinbase Wallet. They highlighted that traditional cross-border payments are plagued by high fees, slow processing times, and friction, but stablecoins offer a real-time, tokenized, and embedded solution. Stablecoins provide borderless, 24/7, permissionless access to dollars, which is especially beneficial for the unbanked and underbanked populations worldwide. This technology is seen as a potential unlock for global financial inclusion and a transformative force in B2B payments and global trade. However, challenges remain in fully realizing this potential. For example, stablecoins enable seamless currency exchanges, such as a Brazilian paying with stablecoins to a U.S. counterparty wanting dollars, demonstrating practical coordination in cross-border transactions. Startups like Cybrid and Kora are leading innovations in this space, supported by venture capital firms like PanacheVC.
