  • —Up to 10% of inbound Philippine remittances settle in stablecoins
  • —Average P2P transfer in the three countries is $618 vs $1,210 globally
  • —Over 80% of domestic transfers in the region are under $1,000
  • —Cross-border stablecoin flows run 3.2x higher than domestic usage
Why it matters: Stablecoins are cementing their role as a settlement layer for remittances, cutting out correspondent banks and lowering fees for recipients.
