According to a post by Delphi Digital, stablecoins are becoming an alternative to traditional foreign exchange trading channels. The costs of traditional foreign exchange channels are high, with comprehensive fees for remittances to Argentina or Nigeria potentially reaching up to 8%, and 81% of these costs come from maintaining the underlying banking infrastructure.

However, current exit mechanisms such as access to bank accounts or interbank channels remain a significant bottleneck. Delphi Digital states that most of the "friction" exists outside of the blockchain. While the minting and burning of stablecoins can be completed in just a few seconds, significant delays occur due to the batch processing mechanisms of bank wire transfers into these systems.
