It's funny that the USDC website doesn't list the main use of stablecoins (especially Tether) these days: arbitrage.

When moving fiat between two exchanges can take days and flag your accounts for suspicious activity, moving the same value using Tether is much much faster (~30 mins to 1 hour).

If one observes how does USDT flows, you'll find that it flows between the 3 or 4 major exchanges that use it, with almost no use elsewhere: no major wallets, no merchant acceptance, etc..
