What are the advantages of using payment tokens?
Advantages can include faster international transfers, potentially lower transaction fees compared to traditional banking, increased financial privacy, and accessibility for the unbanked or underbanked populations.
What are the risks associated with payment tokens?
Risks include price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, potential for fraud, the need for users to manage their own private keys, and the technical complexity for new users. Adoption and liquidity can also be challenges.
Where can payment tokens be used?
