Join our co-hosts for a conversation with Stellar Development Foundation's Lesley Chavkin and PwC's Kurt Fields on the potential for blockchain to offer solutions for increased financial inclusion around the world, and how financial service providers can assess whether new solutions fit a particular challenge. Our guests discuss case studies from four countries where blockchain is already being leveraged, drawing from their new report, "Enhancing the social handprint of financial service providers: Using blockchain to foster financial inclusion." Listen now, check out the report, or see more info on blockchain and resolving access gaps from Stellar Development Foundation here.
