Interesting...the name of this makes it sound like criminals will be using it to transfer cash around the world, like with gift cards?

Genuinely I'm curious, is there really a big market around gifting crypto, or is that market just sort of a front for criminal activity like why some retailers see a spike in gift card sales?

There is a massive trillion dollar market around gifting dollars on gift cards today, but you can typically only use them on Visa and Mastercard networks. We think gifting stablecoins is a better way to do that.

  • Gifting dollars on gift cards today is only supported by 99.9% of retailers. How many retailers accept USD II?

    • It turns out that many people don’t spend the gift cards designated for specific retailers, but rather trade or sell them for cash in their local market.
