Stablecoins Revolutionize Cross-Border Payments, Report Shows

KPMG reports that stablecoins are revolutionizing cross-border payments, significantly reducing settlement times and costs, as shown by JPMorgan and PayPal’s adoption of blockchain-based payment channels.

This shift enhances financial efficiency, freeing substantial liquidity, and is poised to accelerate institutional adoption, especially with new U.S. regulatory measures boosting market confidence.

Stablecoins Slash Cross-Border Payment Costs by Up to 99%

KPMG’s research shows that stablecoins can cut cross-border payment costs by up to 99% and settlement times from days to seconds. JPMorgan and PayPal are key players, utilizing blockchain payment channels. The move is seen as a potential game-changer for financial networks globally.

“Stablecoins transact on public, permissionless blockchains, offering near real-time settlement and minimal transaction fees. This can revolutionize international payments, making them faster and cheaper compared to traditional payment rails, which often involve higher costs and longer settlement times.” KPMG Whitepaper

Market responses show increased interest and investment in blockchain-based financial services. While notable figures have yet to directly comment, the sentiment reflects optimism towards stablecoins’ transformative role in payments.
