Cross-Border Remittance Corridors and the Rise of Stablecoin Settlement in South Asia
Abstract
An empirical review of 2024–2025 remittance flows shows a 14% migration from formal hawala channels into USDC-denominated settlement rails. We map regulatory posture across four jurisdictions and quantify cost compression for senders below the USD 200 ticket.
Keywords
1. Introduction
This article is a demonstration of the standard CCPM working-paper layout. The structure, metadata, and citation furniture shown here are the same across every series operating under the framework, so prospective student authors and reviewers can see exactly what a published artifact will look like before they begin a submission.
2. Background and motivation
The CCPM framework is operated by the Centre for Fintech and Strategic Business Research (CFSBR). Each partner club retains editorial autonomy over its own series while CFSBR coordinates DOI registration, ORCID verification, and open-access hosting. The result is a consistent, citable output without locking any club into a single template or theme.
3. Method
Because this is a placeholder, the method section here is intentionally generic. A real submission would describe data sources, sample construction, instruments, and any computational tooling used, in enough detail that a peer could reproduce the analysis or judge its limits.
4. Findings
The findings section in a real paper would carry the headline numbers, tables, and figures. The demo body is kept short so the page renders quickly and the surrounding furniture - DOI bar, author meta, citation block - is easy to inspect.
5. Discussion and implications
A discussion section connects the findings back to the literature, flags threats to validity, and proposes what a follow-up study or applied use would look like. Authors are encouraged to be honest about scope and to write for the reader who will cite them.
