UNDP AltFinLab(@UNDP_AltFinLab):✨ For Mariama, speed matters only if the money becomes usable. In UN Blockchain Talks #8, we used the story of a fictional trader (Mariama) in The Gambia to examine #stablecoins at the last mile, and where a payment still needs to be converted, spent, trusted, and supported locally. 🌟 The session looked at remittances, cash-out points, agent networks, liquidity, user protection, and the institutional delays that can leave people waiting even when faster payment tools already exist.
