Introduction

In the vast landscape of global finance, there exists a stark reality for underserved communities: traditional financial systems often fail to meet their needs, perpetuating cycles of exclusion and inequality. Despite the rapid expansion of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, access to these transformative tools remains limited for many around the world. Global crypto exchanges, while offering unparalleled opportunities for investment and growth, often fall short in addressing the unique challenges faced by these communities.

Bridging the Divide, Empowering Communities

Attempts have been made to bridge this gap. Centralized exchanges have emerged, yes, but their reach often prioritizes major markets, leaving local communities parched for the liquidity they desperately need. Traditional remittance systems, once hailed as lifelines, are now riddled with exorbitant fees and agonizingly slow processing times, draining precious resources from families striving to make ends meet. These solutions, built on outdated models and blind to local needs, fail to truly address the challenges faced by underserved communities.

Financial Exclusion

According to the World Bank’s Global Findex Database 2021, 1.7 billion adults remain unbanked globally, without access to formal financial services.
In low-income countries, around 35% of adults are unbanked, compared to only 3% in high-income economies (World Bank, 2021).

Remittance Market and Costs

The global remittance market was valued at $783 billion in 2022, with remittances proving to be a vital source of income for many developing countries (World Bank, 2022).
The average cost of sending $200 in remittances was 6.3% in 2022, with some corridors charging fees as high as 10% or more (World Bank, 2022).
Reducing remittance costs by just 2 percentage points could potentially save $16 billion annually for international migrants and their families (UNDESA, 2023).

Regulatory Challenges for Global Exchanges

The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, set to take effect in 2024, will impose strict licensing and operational requirements on crypto exchanges operating within the EU (European Commission, 2023).
In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has increased scrutiny and enforcement actions against global crypto exchanges, highlighting the need for regulatory compliance (SEC, 2023).

Lack of Local Crypto Exchanges

According to CoinGecko’s Crypto Exchange Rankings (2023), only 45 countries have operational local cryptocurrency exchanges.
Many regions in Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia lack access to local crypto exchanges, hindering crypto adoption and liquidity.
