My fireside chat with the CEO of Western Union. > you crypto people think real time settlement is new > we've been doing real time settlement for 20 years > you can go to a WU and send money to your mom in guatemala and it lands in 3 seconds > but that only happens because I have liquidity pool of $1.5B > stablecoins are going to give me back that $1.5B > my stock trades at $2.7B > I'm going to take that $1.5B and use it to buy back a boat load of my stock > oh and also, we're going to use stablecoins to give all 100m+ customers a US dollar debit card aka mini bank account Stablecoins aren't going to kill Western Union... They're going to save it.
