An in depth introduction into the 2026 age of the Banking the collision with the worlds of unconventional New Age Digital Currencies in the shape of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Stablecoins - (e.g. Global Dollar (USDG), USDT (Tether), USDC (US Coin), Ripple (FRLUSD) and many more - and emergence of the public's growing embracement of Digital Asset ownership and acquisition.
We will look at how the worlds of Commercial crypto assets such as Paxos Digital (Singapore) are building the frameworks leveraging the trusted USDG Stablecoin to support high speed, low cost (Fees) person-to-person, company-to-company commerce based on DeFi (Decentralized Finance), whilst at the same time considering the reticence of the Bank of England who see the emergence of this new ecosystem as a threat to the conventional economy associated with, what many consider to be financial freedom and financial autonomy.
We will also consider how cryptocurrency is used in many areas of the world to leverage such 'financial freedom and financial autonomy' to protect their owned assets against rabid inflation (e.g. Venezuela and African States), not to mention how billions of US $ illicit transaction have been made to exfiltrate funds of Oligarchs out of troubled areas; or say millions from under the noses of Oil and Gas companies - as if by a puff of smoke, completely disappeared..
We will look under the covers of what make the worlds of Digitised Transactions tick, how Blockchains work and safeguard the transaction process, the level of trust which has evolved, and as to how any individual may safely engage with Cryptocurrency Exchanges to trade, transact, and send/receive digital assets. Then digging deeper into the area of pragmaticism we consider Cold Wallets v Hot Wallets and Offline Cold Storage, Wrapping, ERC-20 Tokens, Network Protocols, Cryptocurrency Security, and notwithstanding the level of user technical abilities, how 'any' user can safely engage with the world of Cryptocurrency.
The future of fiance is changing, and it is no longer a question of will it go mainstream, but when!
