Western Union down 65% over 20 years while crypto rails process billions daily.
This isn't a coincidence. It's the endgame for legacy remittance monopolies.
Crypto rails are faster, cheaper, and borderless. No middleman taking 10% cuts. No 3-5 day settlement windows. Just peer-to-peer value transfer.
Western Union was the first domino. Won't be the last.
Traditional finance infrastructure built on rent-seeking and friction is getting priced out by permissionless networks. The shift from stocks to crypto isn't hype anymore, it's capital rotation.
More legacy players will get crushed as liquidity flows into decentralized alternatives. Banks, payment processors, clearinghouses all have targets on their backs.
Crypto has already won the long game. Now we're just watching the old guard realize it.
