Watching how CPI might impact stablecoin adoption narratives
Been thinking about the upcoming CPI print and what it means for broader market sentiment. If we see inflation staying stubborn, does that push more merchants to look harder at stablecoins for settlement to sidestep FX volatility, especially when traditional rails seem pricier? I'm curious if this narrative gains traction, particularly around $NZDUSD, as that pair can get pretty choppy on macro news. Still watching for any noticeable shift in adoption signals from fintechs.

It's an interesting angle, particularly the idea of stablecoins as a hedge against FX volatility for merchants. However, the regulatory landscape and operational friction for widespread merchant adoption of stablecoins for settlement still seem like significant hurdles, even with stubborn inflation.
