Decaf is a non-custodial payments platform designed for financial inclusion in emerging markets, particularly Latin America. Built on the Stellar network, it enables users to easily convert between fiat and USDC stablecoins with low fees and fast settlement. The article features a case study from San Francisco, Colombia, where Decaf's integration with MoneyGram Ramps allows entrepreneurs and workers to receive payments, hold value in crypto, and cash out locally without exorbitant fees.
