In today's hyper-connected internet era, it still costs more than 6% on average to send money as remittance across borders - this can reach as high as 52% across certain global corridors. In this light, it is no surprise that, G20 has made a priority to make payments faster, cheaper, more transparent and more accessible. Additionally, new functionalities such as programmability and tokenization are being added to various forms of digital money (like CBDCs, Tokenized Deposits and Stablecoins).
