International, fee-less, instant payments? With the amount of ecommerce that happens over WhatsApp and Instagram these days, Meta stands a very good chance with USDP to cut out the middle-men (all of the legacy financial infrastructure) and take the product straight to the consumers. Sure, Meta could partner with PayPal, but Novi is a better, if ambitious, bet.

Considering how many horror stories I've heard about people getting blocked from Paypal with funds in their custody, you can't see any benefit to doing this with crypto?
yes, google lightning network.
