Sub-claim "Lower transaction costs than traditional payment systems": 60% covered by S6 — S6 discusses nanopayments with a floor of $0.000001, making micro-payments viable, which implies lower costs than traditional systems, but lacks explicit comparison.

Sub-claim "Faster transaction settlement times": 90% covered by S1, S4 — S1 describes instant final settlement in seconds, removing multi-day delays. S4 reports sub-second finality (180ms). Overall strong support.

Sub-claim "Increased accessibility for unbanked populations": 0% covered — No gathered source mentions unbanked populations or accessibility improvements.

Sub-claim "Price stability compared to other cryptocurrencies": 90% covered by S1 — S1 explicitly states stablecoins provide a stable unit of account, contrasting with volatile cryptocurrencies.

Claim 3 has zero coverage; selected sources are likely to address stablecoin adoption for unbanked populations, are affordable, and fit the remaining budget.
