by • Cryptocurrency has the potential to promote financial inclusion by providing access to banking services and alternative financial products to those in underserved regions.
• It can also improve transparency and reduce corruption through its decentralized ledger, as well as automate the execution of financial agreements.
• These features make cryptocurrency an attractive option for migrant workers, individuals in remote areas, or those who prefer privacy and cost-effectiveness.
Financial Inclusion
Access to and use of financial services, known as financial inclusion, is essential for economic growth and development. Unfortunately, many people still lack access to basic banking services – the World Bank estimates 1.4 billion adults worldwide are without these services. This limits their economic opportunities and perpetuates poverty.
Cryptocurrency Solution
Cryptocurrency may provide a solution for this issue due to its decentralized and digital nature. It does not require physical banking infrastructure which enables individuals living in remote or underserved areas to access it without needing a traditional bank branch. Additionally, cryptocurrency offers a range of other financial services such as cross-border payments that are more efficient than traditional methods; alternative financial options like loans, savings and insurance; improved transparency; reduced corruption; automated execution of agreements; and privacy for users who prefer it or need it.
Migrant Benefits
Migrant workers sending money back home can benefit from using cryptocurrency due to its efficiency when making cross-border payments compared with traditional methods. The cost-effectiveness of cryptocurrency also makes it attractive for those who may not have access to banks or other traditional finance solutions.
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts can help increase trust in global financial systems by automating the execution of agreements between two parties without requiring intermediaries or manual processing time. This feature further increases the cost-efficiency of cryptocurrency transactions while maintaining security levels that would otherwise be difficult if not impossible with traditional finance solutions.
