Stablecoins are rapidly emerging as a key tool for international settlements, offering faster, cheaper cross-border payments and remittances compared to traditional systems. In 2025, the market cap exceeds $300 billion, with transaction volumes surging amid regulatory clarity like the US GENIUS Act and EU MiCA. Institutions including JPMorgan and Visa are integrating them for real-world flows. However, they are not yet the global standard—comprising under 1% of daily payments—due to risks like currency substitution and financial stability concerns raised by IMF and BIS. With ongoing adoption and projected growth to trillions by 2030, stablecoins could become a complementary or dominant standard in the coming years.https://www.imf.org/en/blogs/articles/2025/12/04/how-stablecoins-can-improve-payments-and-global-finance https://www.bis.org/publ/arpdf/ar2025e3.htm

Let people walk quiet trails, breathe wild air, and fall in love with nature. That love becomes the strongest shield. Smart rules keep it safe: small groups, expert guides, stay on path, leave only footprints. Well-run eco-visits also fund rangers and research. Close the doors and people forget why it matters. Open them wisely and nature wins millions of guardians.(76 words)https://www.iucn.org/theme/protected-areas https://www.nature.org/en-us/what-we-do/our-priorities/protect-water-and-land https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/
