🌍 Stablecoins Gaining Traction in Global Finance.
Stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a transformative force in global finance, potentially revolutionizing outdated global payment systems like correspondent banking. These digital currencies, pegged to real-world assets, are forecasted to command a trillion-dollar market. Leading the charge is Circle with its USDC stablecoin and the newly announced Circle Payments Network, aiming to centralize and modernize cross-border transactions.

Big players like PayPal are also entering the field with their PYUSD stablecoin, focusing on enterprise solutions and international transfers.
