Money belongs on-chain

After nine years and $773M of funding, only 25% of cross-border payments made through Transferwise settle within 20 seconds or less. Some don't settle until the following day - or days later. That is not surprising. In spite of being a leading payments challenger, Transferwise is optimizing an outdated infrastructure of closed payment systems and corresponding banks.

Old shocks cast long shadows over the exchange rate

We propose a new exchange rate model using interest rate differential (IRD) time series as the input, and we fit the new model with empirical data for calibration. We assume that exchange rate modeling cannot be based on the response to a single shock but must instead be based on the response to a series of shocks, as previous shocks could still be playing out and affecting the overall response.
