About this episode

Mexi explains how his speaking tour on stablecoins for Mexican banks got started. He reviews with @ElianXBT and @bitcuners the adoption of stablecoins in Mexico and Latin America, Bitso's more than 4 million users, and the lack of regulation from Mexico's central bank. They also discuss the risk of Tether or Circle freezing funds, past attempts at a Mexican stablecoin, and real cases of remittances and informal trade with USDT.
