Loved the two dashboards. On RTP, this surprised me:

ATV seemed to be trending up in many countries whereby I would have expected to trend downwards with more retail adoption of long tail-merchants and more everyday usage. (Perhaps B2B adoption is faster).

Hi Matt, Any views on Western Union's stablecoin project - U.S. Dollar Payment Token (USDPT).

Well they have a great reach and they are working with a great partner (Crossmint) so it's a really interesting one to watch. I don't think it's live yet but still expected in H1. The original pitch was to make transfers cheaper and easier so it may not be a full retail offering eg. it might not be a stablecoin anyone outside the WU ecosystem needs over any other, but should help with internal costs, and likely needed as stablecoin market can put a lot of pressure on traditional remittance flows.
