PANews reported on December 16 that Juan Lopez, general partner of VanEck Ventures and former member of Circle Ventures, said that Stripe's acquisition of Bridge is a huge recognition of the stablecoin field and has brought about a wide range of market chain effects. He mentioned that startups such as Yellow Card (Africa's compliant cryptocurrency on-boarding and off-boarding platform) and Felix Pago (a stablecoin remittance service integrated with WhatsApp) are gaining momentum by demonstrating the practicality of stablecoins beyond crypto transactions. Lopez predicts that in the next 3-5 years, about 30% of remittances between the United States and Mexico (about US$20 billion) may be completed through stablecoins.
