Recent data from IntoTheBlock revealed that stablecoin’s on-chain trading volume now surpasses $846 billion. This market nevertheless remains highly active, despite a 30% drop in monthly trading and $20 billion below its highest peak at the same time. 
This recent stablecoin usage in international remittance could be leveraged to cut down the large fees tied to traditional cross-border transactions.&nbsp;

Moreover, a <a href="https://www.coinbase.com/en-br/blog/crypto-could-help-save-billions-of-dollars-remittance-fees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">recent study</a> conducted by Coinbase has shown that Americans spend almost $12 billion per year just for transfer fees abroad due to a lack of cheaper options. 
PayPal’s PyUSD, one of the major stablecoins plays a key role in this. Within the last four weeks, PyUSD has become not only one of the fastest growing but also the tenth most capitalized stablecoin with over 21% increase since the month of April. Furthermore, PayPal recently <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/29/paypal-usd-stablecoin-goes-live-on-solana-blockchain/">announced </a>its expansion onto Solana blockchain from Ethereum, reinforcing its position in this particular market. 
As of now, the Solana ecosystem itself boasts of over $4 billion in stablecoin market cap, with USD Coin (USDC) currently dominating over 72% of the market share according to Artemis data.&nbsp;

This development also follows PayPal’s announcement last month that Xoom, its money transfer service, would <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/04/xoom-launches-pyusd-funding-option-for-u-s-customers/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/04/xoom-launches-pyusd-funding-option-for-u-s-customers/" rel="noreferrer noopener">enable US customers to send stablecoins</a> to approximately 160 countries without incurring any fees. 
The rise in stablecoin usage can be further indicated by the fact that the stablecoin on-chain trading volume surpassed $1.3 trillion last month, exceeding the average monthly volume <a href="https://annualreport.visa.com/financials/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">processed</a> by Visa last year which recorded $32 billion. Tether USD (USDT), DAI, and USD Coin (USDC) collectively processed over $1.3 trillion in transactions in the past 30 days.
