According to the Asia Business Daily, Hyundai Card and Hyundai Motor have completed a proof-of-concept (PoC) for cross-border remittances based on stablecoins, enabling stablecoin transfers between Hyundai Motor’s U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries; they plan to launch the second round of validation among European subsidiaries by the end of this month.
In the first PoC, Hyundai Motor’s U.S. subsidiary converted $20,000 into $USDT, transferred it to its Mexican subsidiary, and then reconverted it back into USD; the entire process took an average of 7 minutes—significantly faster than traditional interbank wire transfers, which typically take over 3–4 hours. Participants included Hyundai Card, Hyundai Motor’s U.S. and Mexican subsidiaries, Tether, Avalanche, and Axiym.The second PoC will be conducted in Europe and involve actual remittances in non-USD local currencies, with Circle and Visa participating.[PANews]
