Decentralized Finance: A Catalyst for Global Financial Inclusion! In the modern financial landscape, traditional banking systems have often excluded millions of people worldwide due to geographic, economic, and regulatory barriers. However, decentralized finance (DeFi) is emerging as a game-changer, offering financial services that are open, permissionless, and accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Breaking Barriers with DeFi Unlike conventional financial institutions that require extensive documentation, credit history, and physical branch visits, DeFi operates on blockchain technology, allowing users to access banking services from anywhere in the world. Through decentralized lending, borrowing, staking, and yield farming, individuals can earn a passive income and grow their wealth without relying on intermediaries. Empowering the Unbanked According to the World Bank, over 1.7 billion adults remain unbanked. DeFi solutions such as smart contracts and decentralized exchan...

Brazil has firmly positioned itself at the forefront of the growing de-dollarization movement within BRICS nations right now, and is actively championing dollar-free trade as well as promoting local currencies for international transactions. This represents, at the time of writing, a significant challenge to the U.S. dollar’s long-established role as the primary global reserve currency. BRICS Member Pushes De-dollarization—Nations Ditch the U.S. Dollar Source: Bitcoin.com Brazil’s Finance Ministry has made its de-dollarization stance quite clear as the country has recently assumed the BRICS chairmanship in 2025.

No obstacles exist to that on the side of Brazil.” The expanded BRICS alliance—which now includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, and also the UAE—is ...

There is a distinct possibility that XRP below $2 could soon become a reality. Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs are set to be announced later today. While duties levied on imports don’t have a direct effect on the cryptocurrency market, they do have an indirect effect — which has proven to be no less impactful. Simply put, the budding trade war brings resurgent fears of inflation, increases the possibility of recession, and decreases the odds of long-awaited rate cuts. This tends to make investors more than a little skittish — resulting in a risk asset selloff and a pivot to more conservative holdings.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly closing its investigation into social media influencer Haliey Welch over the alleged rug pull of her memecoin. According to a new report by TMZ, the regulatory agency is closing the probe into Welch – known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl for her 2024 viral video – without filing any charges against her after it was alleged that she conducted a rug pull following the launch of Hawk (HAWK) in December. The SEC investigated Welch after her Solana (SOL)-based memecoin rapidly lost its value after a big rally, triggering accusations that the HAWK memecoin was a rug pull. A rug pull is when the creators of a new asset intentionally inflate its price and then sell large amounts of it, simultaneously profiting and causing the asset’s price to plunge, leaving investors sitting on massive unrealized losses. As stated by James Sallah, Welch’s attorney, according to TMZ, “The ...
