Odaily Planet Daily reported that Nick van Eck, CEO and co-founder of stablecoin issuer Agora, stated in an interview with Coindesk that blockchain-based payment methods will surge over 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 obstacle to widespread adoption of stablecoins is regulation; businesses are keen 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 such as cross-border payments and B2B transactions. He stated, 'I think this is just the beginning of a twenty-year journey to large-scale adoption.'
