As Venmo hikes fees, freelancers eye stablecoins for lower transaction costs. Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero and Coinbase's Brian Armstrong weigh in.

Following news of mobile payment service Venmo’s transaction fee hike, Farcaster co-founder Dan Romero suggested “a stablecoin payments app” for United States-based freelancers. The PayPal-owned mobile payment service’s new fee structure has resulted in community backlash.

Romero’s statement posed stablecoins as the solution for “1099s.” This refers to workers subject to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 — including freelancers and independent contractors.This statement was countered shortly after by Hendricks, who questioned the current state of cryptocurrency transfers. The co-founder of the Farcaster decentralized social network asked:

“What is the consumer app with hundreds of millions of users that enables seamless, instant crypto transfers free of charge?”“You just described a great business opportunity. Yeah sending money on Venmo to be robbed by PayPal or sending on Coinbase. Why pay 2.99% when you can pay nothing?”. After the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit against Ripple in 2020, many centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, delisted XRP. The SEC accused Ripple Labs of selling unregistered securities, leading to the delistings.that secondary sales of XRP do not qualify as securities transactions, centralized exchanges began to reverse their stance and relist the controversial digital asset.
