One of the most exciting dimensions of the rise of global stablecoins is the opportunity that is being created for unbanked populations around the world. Today more than 1.7 billion adults don't have access to bank accounts. At the same time, 2/3 of these individuals have mobile devices. At this intersection, a new generation of financial services are coming on to the scene, built on public blockchains and stablecoins, with the hope of ushering in a more open, accessible and equitable economic system for all.
 
In this week's episode, we were joined by three guests who each shared rich perspectives on financial inclusion, including Harish Natarajan from the World Bank, Danelle Dixon from the Stellar Foundation, and Tristan Cole from Sempo. We hope you enjoy this inspiring episode.

Next Thursday, June 18th at 1pm EDT, join us for a very special live demo where we'll showcase the global reach and interoperability of stablecoins. Follow the journey of USDC as it hops across continents, is sent and received using different apps and services, is integrated into diverse use cases, and cashed out into local currencies. Hold onto your seat for this action packed episode.
