### **Why Stablecoins for Payments?**
✅ **Instant Settlements** – No 3-5 day bank delays; transactions settle in minutes.
✅ **Lower Fees** – Avoid high SWIFT/remittance costs (e.g., Western Union charges ~5-10%; stablecoins cost pennies).
✅ **Stability** – Pegged to USD or other assets, reducing volatility vs. Bitcoin or local currencies (key in high-inflation regions like Argentina).
✅ **Borderless** – No need for intermediaries like correspondent banks.
