Stablecoins are making substantial progress in the cross-border payment field. Circle and licensed cross-border payment institution LianLian Global( announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding, and both parties will engage in in-depth cooperation on stablecoin-based cross-border payment infrastructure.

There are many highlights to this cooperation. First is the dual upgrade of efficiency and cost—through stablecoins and blockchain technology, cross-border payment and settlement speeds can be significantly improved, while transaction costs are greatly reduced. Second, both parties plan to promote interoperability between traditional payment systems and blockchain infrastructure, which means Web3 technology is expected to better integrate with the existing financial system.

More notably, Circle's L1 chain is also included in the scope of cooperation. The two sides will jointly explore application opportunities in emerging markets, which could open new prospects for the adoption of stablecoins in emerging economies worldwide. From technical integration to market expansion, this cooperation covers a fairly complete chain.

Traditional finance and Web3 are finally starting to work together, not just paying lip service. Emerging markets do have opportunities; it all depends on whether Circle can truly reduce costs.

ngl the interop angle is what gets me... every time someone mentions "seamless integration" with legacy rails i think of stargate & nomad. like yeah, optimal routing on paper, but what's the actual counter-party risk stack here? lianLian's licensed so that's something, but circle's L1? that's a new attack vector. seen this movie before.

Finally, licensed institutions are willing to get serious, but how far this can be implemented still depends on various factors.

The matter of stablecoins is finally coming to fruition, but the involvement of licensed institutions like Lianlian is a good thing. Wow, this time it's not just a simple technical solution; they've also targeted emerging markets. Circle's move is quite strategic. To be honest, interoperability between traditional finance and Web3 is the key; otherwise, it's just self-congratulation. The payment pain points in emerging markets are indeed significant. If stablecoins can truly become widespread, it would be fantastic for us cross-border players. But when will we see real trading volume in this Memorandum of Understanding?
