Why does Tron have such outsized stablecoin / payments traction in developing world (supposedly, that is)?  What's the story behind this?

Opinions my own

My friend in Argentina said it’s basically just low gas fees plus a ton of marketing

Interesting. I generally feel like traditional raw marketing spend is underutilized for non-speculative crypto use cases. AOL used to ship trial CDs to every address in America — who’s doing that for eg stablecoins?

Binance, they are like a household name it seems.  From my conversations with people, they can understand Binance because it’s like their banking app. They don’t necessarily do stuff onchain but they do transfer to family/friends binance accounts. Also the currency exchange rate is waaay better than trad markets.
