International Stablecoins Payments:
Today:
-> Multiple offchain FX swaps (Costly)
-> Rely on local liquidity (Inefficient)
But now that @base is growing the largest onchain currency economy...
Tomorrow:
-> Single onchain FX swaps (Cheap)
-> Leverage deep global liquidity (Efficient)
The market is about to go through a huge shift as players begin to take advantage of this.
Curious which currencies are live on @base?

Brazil is one of the most active onchain economies in the world
So last week I booked flights to spend all of April in Sao Paulo/Rio to learn about the market and deepen our relationships with local partners
Why? If your not on the ground, your not in the game
If your in town i'd love to meet to hear how we can support you on @base, my dms are open...

I showed him how I could send US dollars instantly for free on @base using @CoinbaseWallet

just good ole USDC or local stablecoin on @base
now that’s a product that directly improves people’s lives
Just had a $3 haircut in Kenya paid for via the @0xOneRamp mini app on Farcaster.
You can basically pay for anything using oneramp.

Want to check out some data on the local currency stablecoin market on @base?
Data science wizard @0xKofi created a sweet dashboard to help!
Some early thoughts and questions(EURC excluded):
@idrx_co and @ZARP_Stablecoin: while small in supply has a consist # of transacting addresses / DEX traders
- Early signs of retail PMF in Indonesia/South Africa?
@Paytrie and @BiLira_Kripto: P2P transactions the past 30d tend to be over $1k
- Are these businesses making swaps with CAD/TRY?
@transferogroup: Supply minted just jumped to $1.7m
- What other Brazilian use cases will this supply be used for?
@brale_xyz: MXNE supply is skyrocketing in DEX volumes this week
- Is this price arbitragers or payment teams?

Stablecoins are not one size fits all, every country has a unique reason for needing an onchain local currency.
Every problem, every solution...all on @base
To bring the world onchain, we need stablecoins for every country. From New Zealand to Mexico, here’s why countries are coming onchain:
🇳🇿 @easycrypto
New Zealand’s timezone makes it hard to do business globally. A real-time, 24/7 NZD stablecoin lets businesses trade whenever they want.
🇧🇷 @BrzToken
Brazil’s economy is walled off, and forex fees are high. An onchain BRL makes it cheaper to do business globally.
🇹🇷 @BiLira_Kripto
Moving Turkish Lira in digital markets is slow and costly. TRYB makes settlement instant, 24/7.
🇲🇽 @brale_xyz
Most of Mexico is underbanked. Remittances are essential, but fees are high. An onchain MXN makes those fees cheaper and unlocks financial access.
🇨🇦 @Paytrie
Canada has one real-time payments network — Interac — and it’s bank-owned. Onchain CAD means anyone can send, receive, or build with it, no permission needed.
🇳🇬 @ngnc_mc and @cngn_co
Nigeria’s financial system is slow, expensive, and lacks liquidity. A regulated, onchain NGN offers instant settlement and finality.
🇮🇩 Indonesia
Million of Indonesians lose ~$720M a year to remittance fees. An onchain IDR cuts fees, speeds up payments, and expands financial access.
Bringing local currencies onchain creates a global economy that works for everyone, everywhere.

For onchain currencies on Base, non-EURC stables are only ~5% of the transactions but almost ~30% of the addresses.
A normal trend in pre-automated market? or a sign of real users?

If you think swapping into EURC is cool, just wait till every currency in the world is onchain and globally available on @base
Stablecoins.earth
You’ll keep your $USDC in your @CoinbaseWallet, earning a rate better than a bank + directly pay for things as needed.
And when you need to make a payment in something like $EURC, you’ll swap at rates better than Wise.
A better system powered by @base and @AerodromeFi.

previously @circle pushed merchants to ACCEPT stables in crypto wallets
imo merchants don't care and defer to what users want
today @NedaPay_xyz @vifi_labs @_Minisend are enabling users to PAY with stables directly to merchant bank accounts
why am i so bullish on this approach?
1) its focused on empowering current holders of stables
2) this will prove the demand to force merchants to fast follow

“To laugh is to risk appearing a fool
To weep is to risk being called sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To try is to risk failure.
But risk must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or really live.
Chained by their servitude, they are slaves who have forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is truly free.”
- Leo F. Buscaglia

If Starbucks put their loyalty points on a public chain, would local bagel stores airdrop discounts to high point holders?
- Starbucks gains ecosystem value for free
-Bagel stores are able to reach their audience
-Point holders get more bagels

If you end up building would make a distinction between fiat backed vs synthetic.
No hate on synthetic but personally I think fiat backed are significantly more cap efficient and a better product because of direct ramps into bank accounts but are a lot harder to seed the market for

This is so true
1) issuing stablecoins is a great business to be in
2) there are so many currencies that still don't have issuers
Thinking about this today, tell me if I'm dumb:
Everyone knows stablecoin issuers are the best businesses in crypto. Last year, Tether made $13B of profit.
The opportunity for a startup to build a top 3 dollar stablecoin issuer is long gone. But there's lots of other currencies where the opportunity to be a top 3 stablecoin issuer is wide open.
Of course, these opportunities aren't USDT/USDC sized. The dollar is the worlds reserve currency.
But if you execute well with the right currency and demand grows to even 0.1% of a USDT or USDC you'll have a massive business on your hands.
If that sounds interesting to you, talk to @0xblockboy. He's leading Base's efforts to bring all the currencies of the world onchain.

Did you know its very hard to move money outside of New Zealand 🥝 because of the locational/time barrier?
This creates a cash flow problem for companies trying to work internationally.
To solve this for themselves, @easycrypto decided to developed their own stablecoin @nzddcoin so they could interact with global markets in real time.
Now they want to scale it to other New Zealand businesses and users who might face the same problem.
Now that's Real Wold Value.

It creates a euphoric feeling of inexplicable happiness and freedom
