The G20 set cross-border payment speed and cost targets through 2027, requiring 75% of wholesale, retail, and remittance payments to be credited within an hour, and retail costs capped globally at 1% by 2027. However, XRP and Stellar Lumens were not named as systems to meet these targets.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a deadline-driven push to speed and cut costs in cross-border payments that does not favour XRP or Stellar. Act now to align with other payments infrastructures driving the G20 targets or risk losing corridor relevance.
