Stablecoin remittance fees 84% lower than traditional transfers, Borderless report finds

Stablecoin-funded remittances remain significantly cheaper than traditional money transfer methods, particularly in emerging markets, as payment volumes continue to grow globally. New data from Borderless.xyz, a stablecoin payments platform, underscores this advantage and sheds light on broader trends shaping the digital dollar landscape. Borderless.xyz reported that sending a $200 remittance via stablecoin payment channels carried a median cost of just 1%, equating to $2. In contrast, traditional remittance services charged a median fee of 6.36%, or $12.72, according to World Bank data for similar routes. This comparison, based on third-quarter 2026 figures from Borderless and 2025 numbers from the World Bank, suggests stablecoin remittances are roughly 84% more cost-effective for users. The cost advantage is even more pronounced in certain emerging markets.
