Remi’s now one step closer to multi-jurisdiction custody of funds. Let’s go!
Remi Network Inc., our Canadian entity, now holds a Money Services Business license. It's the foundation for Remi to operate as a regulated settlement network, and the first step toward holding and managing funds for our partners. More: remi.ae/blog/remi-money-serv…

We’ve just secured ~$135k in non-dilutive capital from @StellarOrg! We’re using it to enable regulated financial institutions to integrate stablecoins confidentially, encrypted amounts & balances, while still meeting their compliance requirements. An important step towards making stablecoins actually usable for institutional settlement.
News: Remi has won a grant from the Stellar Community Fund, ~$135k to build confidential settlement on @StellarOrg, encrypted on-chain but fully auditable.

The "zero fee" Illusion is up in @remi_ae_ research center. I sent €25 to Egypt. Fee: €0.00. Rate: 55.30, market was 55.99. The fee didn't go anywhere. It moved into the rate. Report's here check it out 👇

"Zero fees" is the most successful marketing line in remittance and is also why a worker sending $200 home still pays 4.59% on average. We documented where the money actually goes. A €25 test transfer to Egypt. Receipt: fee €0.00. Rate used: 55.30. The live market that same evening: 55.99. That 1.2% gap is revenue the receipt never names. World Bank, $200 transfer: global average 6.36%, banks 14.99%, digital services 4.59%. The UN target is 3%. "Zero fee" and "4.59% average cost" are both true at the same time. There is a second cost nobody advertises. On Jul29 the EGP moved close to a full pound against the dollar after the Damietta strike. Operators holding bulk positions bought at the pre-event rate: $12,107 lost on a single $1M ticket. Our partners carried nothing, because we never hold a position on their behalf. Every transaction is priced against the live market at the moment of execution. That is what @remi_ae_ is building. Borderless settlement infrastructure with disclosed margin, live pricing and an auditable settlement leg. The margin game had a fifty-year run. It's ending. Report goes live tmrw. #Remittances #FX #Stablecoins #Fintech #CrossBorderPayments

Remi's growing one bank, one MTO and one exchange house at a time. Happy to announce our second UAE exchange house joining the Remi Network. 🇦🇪
International Development Exchange (IDE) is joining the Remi Network as a regulated Network Operator. Licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE. Two decades serving the UAE market. Now connected to modern settlement infrastructure. The network grows one operator at a time. #CrossBorderPayments #Remittance #Fintech #UAE

This partnership is personally special to me for what it stands for: instant, 24/7 and reliable cross-border money movement for those most in need, from UAE to the world. Excited to continue working with Christoph, Rahul and the rest of the @myruyabank team on making our collective vision a reality. 🇦🇪
Remi and @myruyabank have signed an MoU to explore faster, more transparent cross-border payments and settlement across the UAE. Full release: shorturl.at/4hFfZ #Fintech #Payments #UAE

#Egypt recorded USD 35B in remittance inflows in the first three quarters of 2026. @chainalysis estimates billions more arrived via #stablecoins. The question isn't whether those flows happened. The question is, were they counted? If value moves cross-border outside traditional financial rails, how much of it appears in official #remittance data? And if it doesn't, are we measuring the full picture of capital flowing into emerging markets? The future of remittances may not be bank rails versus stablecoins. It may be how the two converge.

The next layer of cross-border finance will be infrastructure-led. Real corridors first. Trusted partners first. Infrastructure first. That’s the sequencing principle behind @remi_ae_ #MENA #Fintech #Infrastructure

Capital efficiency is a growth lever. Trapped liquidity, oversized prefunding, delayed settlement and manual reconciliation all limit scale. #CapitalEfficiency #Liquidity #Payments

RWA and tokenization is useful when it solves operating problems: settlement, liquidity, ownership records, transparency or programmability. Does it improve the operating model? #Tokenization #Fintech #RWA

The corridor is the product! Liquidity, FX, payout, partners, regulation, expectations and exceptions with a stroke of luck decide whether a route can scale. #Corridors #Fintech #Remittance
