TripleA CEO Eric Barbier stated that the future of remittances is remittances without remittances. He does not truly believe in stablecoin sandwich remittances (fiat to stablecoin and then back to fiat). In most cases, remittances mean transferring strong currencies into weak currencies. However, stablecoins provide new value: they allow people in emerging countries to hold strong currencies. As related platforms encourage merchants to accept cryptocurrencies, stablecoins can now be consumed directly. Therefore, the future for people in emerging countries is not to hold local currencies, but to hold stablecoins, earn returns, and spend them.

According to CoinDesk, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has granted a preliminary conditional federal banking charter to World Liberty Trust Company, allowing it to operate as a national trust bank and to succeed BitGo as the exclusive issuer and custodian of the USD1 stablecoin under World Liberty Financial, primarily serving institutional clients. Final approval still requires meeting additional pre-opening conditions.Due to World Liberty's partial ownership being linked to the Trump family, this move has faced strong opposition from Democratic lawmakers. Senator Elizabeth Warren and others have announced plans to introduce the "Terminate President's Bank Corruption Act," which, if passed, would prohibit senior government officials from owning or controlling banks.
