Remittance services involve the transfer of money by foreign workers to their home countries, or more broadly, any cross-border peer-to-peer money transfer. In the context of digital assets, these services leverage blockchain technology to facilitate faster, often cheaper, and more transparent international money transfers. By bypassing traditional banking intermediaries, digital asset-based remittance platforms aim to reduce transaction fees and accelerate delivery times. This offers a compelling alternative for individuals and businesses sending funds globally.
Context

Discussions often focus on the benefits of reduced costs and increased speed versus the regulatory complexities and volatility risks associated with using cryptocurrencies. Regulators are working to establish frameworks that allow for the efficient and compliant operation of blockchain-based remittance providers, addressing concerns around anti-money laundering and consumer protection.
