Stablecoins Poised to Revolutionize Global Payments
Stablecoins like USDC and Tether (USDT) are rapidly gaining traction as alternatives to traditional payment systems. Circle's launch of the Circle Payments Network aims to modernize cross-border transactions, while PayPal's PYUSD focuses on enterprise solutions.
