Cross-border services refer to financial and digital operations conducted across national boundaries. These services frequently utilize blockchain technology to facilitate the efficient transfer of digital assets and data between diverse jurisdictions. They aim to provide faster, more transparent, and often lower-cost transaction solutions compared to traditional international systems. Such services are fundamental to global digital commerce and the movement of value.
