According to a report by Cointelegraph, the Bank of Italy released a study testing 10 remittance routes between Italy and Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, the UAE, and Japan, transferring 200 USDC each time. The results show that stablecoin cross-border remittances do not offer systemic cost advantages compared to traditional channels, with total costs ranging from approximately 0.3% to nearly 9% of the remittance amount. On-chain transfer fees accounted for only a small portion of the costs. The study pointed out that costs and transfer speeds are mainly influenced by fiat on/off ramps and local payment infrastructure: when instant payments are supported, the entire process can be completed within 20 minutes; when regular bank transfers are required, it may take 1 to 2 business days. https://(wublock123.com)/news/bank-of-italy-stablecoin-remittances-no-systemic-cost-advantage-65708
