International stablecoin transfer POC

Cross-border transactions can take days to settle. To expedite this process and its efficiency, Shinhan Bank, the leading bank in South Korea, and Standard Bank, the largest bank in Africa, have united in a proof-of-concept Stablecoin on Hedera. In so doing, the trial looked to reduce the reliance on middlemen, associated costs, and settlement time in the currently $702 billion remittance market.
