Is This Why Financial Inclusion Needs Web3?

Fortune

Is there a global issue re: economic inequality and political instability because of the way the financial system is currently set up? According to Alex Tapscott of Fortune magazine, the answer is a resounding yes, and Web3 could save the day.

“It’s a story of transformation, where digital currencies like Bitcoin and USDC are bridging gaps and changing lives.”

- Alex Tapscott, Fortune

Alex isn’t the only one who’s bullish on blockchain solutions for global finance. Consider Africa, where stablecoins like USDC are being embraced rapidly. People want stability and independence, and a shift toward dollarization (which basically means preferring an asset like a stablecoin over cash money) may be what gets them there.
