Just caught an interesting economic policy conference hosted by the Dallas Federal Reserve focusing on North American financial systems. The highlight? A fireside chat with Mexico's Undersecretary of Foreign Trade diving into some pretty relevant topics.

They covered immigration's economic impact, cross-border remittances (huge implications for digital payments), and the USMCA trade agreement's ripple effects on financial flows. Panel discussions got into the weeds on how these macro trends are reshaping payment corridors between the US, Mexico, and Canada.

For anyone tracking how traditional finance intersects with emerging payment rails, this kind of policy dialogue matters. Remittance flows especially—still a massive use case that's ripe for disruption.
