Digital Currency is the future of the monetary system

The banking industry is scrambling to catch up with the rest of the world in terms of technological advancement. Banks want to compete in and benefit from this new environment as soon as possible, and they want to do so as soon as possible. Financial advisors who work with high-net-worth individuals are now able to offer bitcoin investments to their clients. The traditional banking system is being challenged by the emergence of a new financial universe that is competing with it. In a first for the industry, cryptocurrency start-ups are offering credit cards and loans for the first time.

Despite the fact that digital currencies are gaining popularity, top executives at the largest banks in the United States have shown little enthusiasm for them. Earlier this year, JPMorgan launched an all-digital system that is modeled after the old "overnight repo" market. Goldman Sachs has recently begun displaying digital asset prices on its Marquee platform, which was previously unavailable. JPMorgan could gain control of one of the world's most important short-term funding markets if other financial institutions decide to join. Several regulatory agencies have expressed concern about JPMorgan's experimentation with the cryptocurrency bitcoin. Because the coins were tied to the dollar, regulators are concerned that the movement of the coins throughout the financial system could result in a buildup of risk, which could lead to an outpouring of fear and a bank run, according to the Financial Services Authority.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky. To overcome these problems, PAPSS facilitates financial transactions ...

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

Embracing blockchain as a tool for change

Blockchain technology is increasingly being employed in enterprises outside of the financial industry, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021. The Malaysian government is aiming to create a long-term environment for the country's technology and financial services industries in the next years. Founded in Singapore in July 2021 by Iskandar Investment Bhd as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Ignite Global Innovation and Technology Exchange will be the world's first global innovation and technology exchange. In Malaysia, IIB Ventures Sdn Bhd is in charge of the development of the blockchain industry's ecosystem. This is why BV@M has set a goal of creating a blockchain ecosystem in Medini...
