Today I learned. Sending money overseas to my US broker is faster with crypto than the local currency.
This takes 2~3 days: fiat in account-> bank -> internation wire trsnasfer -> broker -> fund clearing
While this takes less then a day: fiat in account -> crypto exchange -> USDT/USDC/ETH -> broker (no fund clearing step)
Wow the speed of banks amazes me
