Onboarding web2 companies or service providers:\nPart of our objectives, aside from integrating web2 service provider APIs, is to encourage existing web2 companies to adopt stablecoins as a payment option. With that, we can onboard these companies while potentially onboarding thousands or even millions of users who use their services.\n\n4. More adoption of stablecoins and tokenization of RWAs:\nBy integrating both ecosystems, we can foster more use of stablecoins and, in extension, utility tokens.
