As the financial power shift advances—who will be left behind?

As US financial dominance wanes, crypto is emerging as a disruptive force in global finance. Decentralised finance is shifting power away from traditional institutions, reshaping economic strategies worldwide. Businesses and policymakers must act swiftly to adapt, or risk becoming obsolete. With digital currencies expanding access to financial services, crypto could be a key driver of economic inclusion. The question is no longer if crypto will redefine finance—but how soon.
