Crypto Adoption and How Blockchain Transforms Modern Economies

In the landscape of global cryptocurrency adoption, Latin America stands as a region of intriguing and immense potential. Argentina emerges as a pivotal example of how digital currencies are not merely speculative but life changing assets that address fundamental economic challenges. 

As the annual inflation rate of the Argentinian peso exceeds 200%, individuals are actively seeking strategies to safeguard their savings against inflation through real estate and cryptocurrency investments, primarily in stablecoins.

Argentina stands as the leading crypto buyer in the region due to economic uncertainties and the depreciation of the local currency. The narratives in Latam countries showcase cryptocurrencies' utility beyond the bounds of traditional financial systems, emphasizing their role in daily transactions, as hedges against rampant inflation, and as tools of economic empowerment.

However, if we take a broader view, inflation and economic challenges are the main problems for most Latin American countries, and that’s the primary reason for the high adoption of cryptocurrency in this region, especially stablecoins such as USDT. Citizens commonly convert their savings into USDT as a trustless and convenient way to avoid inflation. While this is an unfortunate aspect of adoption, it still helps individuals survive and achieve a better lifestyle. Compared to the rest of the world, Latin America accounts for 7.3% of all transactions and value transferred using cryptocurrency, which represents significant numbers.

But what if we combine stablecoin adoption with real world assets technology?

At dEquity, our main use case is to provide an infrastructure that transforms illiquid real estate assets into liquid cash flow with the help of blockchain technology. (Currently, we're running on the testnet Venom Network).  These assets can then be utilized in DeFi to generate yield as well as benefit from market appreciation, unleashing capital efficiency that previously wasn’t reachable at the market. By creating synergy between tangible assets, such as real estate, and digital assets (Property Tokens), we introduce a new type of asset: ABC, or Asset-Backed Crypto. This is income-producing real estate made that are accessible to everyone, with investment opportunities starting at just $100.

We primarily target the Miami real estate market as our initial market for acquiring properties and distributing them as Property Tokens. Over the past decade, Miami's property values have exhibited a robust increase, boasting an average annual appreciation rate of 11.16%. This places Miami among the top 10% in the nation for property appreciation. 

The graph below illustrates the remarkable 188% performance of Miami-Dade County's real estate market over the last 10 years. This historical performance underscores Miami's real estate market as an excellent investment choice, offering opportunities to outpace inflation and build wealth.

In addition to this, Miami's real estate market stands as a top-tier investment hub for global investors, boasting remarkable returns driven by a multitude of factors. In 2023 alone, foreign homebuyers invested a substantial $5.1 billion into residential properties in Miami, highlighting its appeal to investors from Latin American countries.

We prioritize wealth growth and preservation, removing geographical and financial barriers for all.
