CZ Says Stablecoins Can Cut Cross Border Fees To Zero

Changpeng Zhao recently shared his thoughts on stablecoins, pointing out that digital dollars and other tokenized currencies can drive cross border remittance fees down to nearly nothing. Sending money internationally has traditionally been slow and expensive, but blockchain alternatives offer a faster and cheaper way for people to send funds across the globe.

Beyond cheaper transfers, Zhao notes that stablecoins can greatly improve financial inclusion for people who do not have access to traditional banking services. Anyone with a smartphone can hold and send stablecoins, opening up the global financial system to millions of unbanked individuals.

At the same time, Zhao acknowledged that major hurdles still stand in the way. Regulatory challenges and compliance issues continue to pose significant questions for the broader adoption of stablecoins. Traders and observers will be watching closely to see how governments and policy makers react as these digital assets become more popular.
