Introduction
The adoption of cryptocurrency like USDC for payment for services and goods has shown us how stablecoins could potentially transform payments and cross-border remittances. While the underlying technology is very promising, the adoption rate is still very low, limited to trading and DeFi applications. With Utoken, we are merging traditional finance with blockchain technology to drive more adoption.
