Onchain FX represents a significant untapped opportunity within the crypto space. Consider the scale: traditional foreign exchange markets process $7.5 trillion daily. Now imagine channeling that activity through blockchain infrastructure—it's genuinely transformative. The beauty lies in its simplicity. Stablecoins provide the perfect rails for this transition. No complex mechanisms needed, just robust on-chain settlement that traditional finance simply cannot match. As adoption accelerates, the intersection of FX trading and decentralized rails could reshape how global capital moves.

nah the $7.5T number keeps getting thrown around but where's the actual data on settlement velocity gains? empirically speaking, stablecoins still face regulatory friction that nobody's addressing

On-chain FX has indeed not been fully explored. What would happen if the 75 trillion market moved onto the chain? Just thinking about it is exciting.

75 trillion daily trading volume moved on-chain? Sounds crazy, but stablecoin rails are indeed attractive

Good imagination, but I have to be frank — the biggest flaw in this kind of solution lies in the assumption of "simplicity." Cross-chain settlement for stablecoins sounds elegant, but in actual deployment, issues like permission control, reentrancy vulnerabilities, and integer overflow are unavoidable old problems. I've seen many projects fall victim to vulnerabilities because they underestimated the complexity of the settlement layer...
