Blockchain.com and KuCoin Are Pushing Into Emerging Markets — Here's What That Means for Global Crypto Access

WHY IT MATTERS

Think of 'payment rails' like the roads that money travels on. In many developing countries, those roads are limited — people might not have bank accounts, and sending or receiving money internationally can be expensive and slow. Blockchain.com and KuCoin are essentially building new roads that connect cryptocurrency to the payment systems people already use in these countries, like mobile money apps. This matters because it could give millions of people their first real access to crypto, letting them save, send money to family abroad, or participate in the global digital economy — all without needing a traditional bank.
