Everyone assumes Mexico imports mostly from the US.
In 2025, Asia supplied ~$298.7B, about 45% of Mexico's merchandise imports. More than North America.

And almost no one measures what those payments actually cost. 🧵

Have you heard of the stablecoin sandwich?

🍞 On ramp: your dollars become stablecoins
🥬 Settlement: value crosses borders 24/7
🍞 Off ramp: your supplier receives pesos or reais in their bank

Speed comes from the middle. Reliability comes from the bread: liquidity, local rails, and compliance on both ends.

The people shaping stablecoin policy and the people building stablecoin infrastructure will be in the same room this week at @thestablecon.

VelaFi will be there as a sponsor, and we're also co-hosting the Opening Reception Wednesday, Sept 9 at Harbor Social.

If you're moving money across LATAM, Asia, and the US, come meet us!

Next stop: Washington, D.C. The VelaFi team will be at Stablecon '26, Sept 9–10.

When the people building cross-border payments and the folks shaping the rules are in the same room, good things tend to follow.

If you'll be there, come say hi to the team and let's talk about what's next for stablecoin payments across Asia, LATAM, and the US.
