Use when

You are building cross-border payments or payouts and want stablecoin rails with local currency delivery.

Skip when

You just want to buy and hold, or your regulator's position on stablecoin settlement is unresolved.

More interesting as payment infrastructure than as an exchange: the API lets a business settle cross-border payments in stablecoins and pay out in local currency, which is a genuine answer to slow correspondent banking. Treat stablecoin settlement as a regulatory question in your market before building on it - rules differ sharply by country and are moving.
