【Agora CEO: In the next decade, most cross-border payments will shift to stablecoins】According to Golden Finance, Nick van Eck, CEO and co-founder of stablecoin issuer Agora, stated in an interview with Coindesk that blockchain-based payment methods will see a surge in the next decade. He said, "We will see most cross-border payments shift to stablecoins instead of using Swift like the current banking system. You will also see a lot of foreign exchange transactions settle on-chain. We are excited to play a significant role in these two growing markets." Nick van Eck also mentioned that the main barrier to widespread adoption of stablecoins is regulation; businesses are eager to use stablecoins because they are cost-effective and fast, but they need clear legal and compliance frameworks, such as knowing who the licensed providers are. Stablecoins have gained attention in the crypto-native space, but there remains untapped potential in traditional markets like cross-border payments and B2B transactions. He stated, "I believe this is just the beginning of a twenty-year journey of large-scale adoption."
