Stablecoins Poised to Disrupt Cross-Border Payments with Zero Fee Potential

Binance founder CZ believes that stablecoins have the potential to revolutionize cross-border remittances by reducing fees to near zero. In an interview at the ASEAN Tech Summit, CZ emphasized the importance of lowering transaction costs for stablecoin adoption.

Remittance fees typically range from 5% to 10%, which can be a significant burden on families relying on international money transfers. For instance, in the Philippines, where remittances reach approximately $35 billion annually, high transaction fees hinder many families.

CZ believes that leveraging stablecoins and blockchain technology can improve transfer speeds dramatically, making sending money across borders more efficient and cost-effective. This perspective aligns with ongoing discussions about the role of cryptocurrencies in financial inclusion and efficiency.
