🗓️ Aug 03 2026 13:35 UTC

📰 Bank of Italy: No consistent cost edge for stablecoin remittances
🗓️ Jul 31 2026 20:55 UTC
A study from the Bank of Italy has challenged a common argument for crypto payments: that stablecoin-based remittances automatically deliver lower costs and faster settlement than traditional money transfer rails. After testing remittances funded and settled with USDC across mult...
➤ A Bank of Italy study found that stablecoin remittances do not inherently offer lower costs or faster settlement than traditional methods, with fiat conversion and payment rail frictions being the primary drivers of expense and delay.
➤ The research highlights that the efficiency of stablecoin remittances is heavily dependent on the underlying local payment infrastructure, such as instant payment systems, and the need for repeated fiat conversions at both ends of the transaction.
➤ The study suggests that improvements in stablecoin remittance efficiency will come from upgrades to instant payment rails and reduced reliance on currency conversions, alongside supportive regulatory frameworks like MiCA and the GENIUS Act.
