Why Payment Giants Are Moving to Solana | Solana Foundation GM of Payments Jamal Raees

"People are realizing that blockchain-based payments have created some of the best and newest infrastructure for global payments, especially across borders.

Solana has been at the forefront of that, building across various sectors, kind of getting into the trenches, working with some of the largest payment companies.

I mean, we announced Western Union earlier this year. Visa is doing stablecoin settlements on Solana. A bunch of new pilots are being announced. Stablecoin activity on Solana is growing tremendously.

The perfect storm is here. There's a lot of pieces, and I think now's the time to dig in and build."
