The Stellar Development Foundation hosted a "Redefining Everyday Payments" panel at Stellar House Miami, bringing together leaders from Crossmint, Airtm, and MoneyGram to discuss how blockchain technology is reshaping cross-border payments. The panelists emphasized that traditional remittance infrastructure is outdated, with settlement taking days, while blockchain enables instant settlement. MoneyGram's integration with Crossmint allows users to send, receive, and spend USDC on Stellar through the MoneyGram app. The panel identified speed, predictability, and security as critical components for building user trust. Crossmint founder Rodri Fernández Touza highlighted Stellar's advantages: traditional API access for non-crypto-native developers, fast and low-fee transactions, and expert support—describing it as the "full package" for building financial infrastructure.
