The birth of blockchain technology and its swift evolution have left many people amazed, with famous CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, and financial experts often speaking about how it will change the way we go about our daily economic activities.

One of the essential aspects to contemplate in blockchain technology is how this comparatively new technology can help develop globalization, i.e., the process of interaction and integration of companies, people, and governments worldwide.

One of the essential things in the global economy is the flow of goods and services. Currencies are utilized to encourage these movements, but issues like high inflation rates and currency administration techniques are making a ton of individuals concerned about the efficacy of traditional currencies.

Immutability could make cryptocurrencies the right device to facilitate the movement of goods and services. Although some government officials claim that the speed and network jam of cryptocurrencies are blocking them from being employed as a tool for globalization, many projects have begun to deny these opinions. This is making cryptocurrency a globalization device that people can esteem.

Currently, currency transfers are often made by banks, which impose an additional fee for processing transactions. High bank charges in international transfers are not the only obstacle. The time needed for the process can take up to several days, based on its complexity. 

Online conversion of cryptocurrency via crypto exchanges is a much easier process, which involves practically no costs. This is why foreign workers are frequently relying on Bitcoin (BTC) as a more comfortable and inexpensive means to transfer money to their families.

One can’t talk about globalization through cryptocurrencies without speaking about cryptocurrency exchanges. Cointelegraph reported beforehand that approximately $10 billion in Bitcoin is now being stored on cryptocurrency exchanges. 

Many crypto users view exchanges as a tool for cryptocurrency conversions and cross-border transactions.

Cryptocurrency exchanges should impede the progress of projects that don’t add value nor benefit likely projects grow, by administering thorough due diligence before attaching the project’s token to their listings. 

If it cannot join an exchange, the project’s token is principally dead, or else it can only fulfill the internal needs of the project’s platform.

Ethan Ng, the CEO of Singaporean crypto exchange BiKi, stated that exchanges must support the project they take onboard grow by providing it with the essential tools and by injecting it into the market. 

He continued: “Before taking responsibility for the development of the project, the exchange should conduct the most thorough analysis of it. We launched BiKi in August 2018, at the peak of the bear market, when it finally became clear that the ICO era had come to an end, so we filled the niche that has formed at that time in the crypto market — it was quite necessary to know how to launch tokens correctly so that they could enter the global market, how to conduct a PR campaign, and manage the community. We introduce the projects to the Chinese market first, and then with our help, it can enter the global market.”

Globalization is unwinding at an enormous rate due to the flow of digital information. Analysis firm McKinsey & Company lately issued a report in which it said that “digital flows —which were practically nonexistent just 15 years ago — now exert a larger impact on GDP growth than the centuries-old trade in goods.”

Boundaries or national policies do not restrict the flow of data, and this is most obvious in the use of decentralized blockchain technology. The most challenging aspect of conducting cross-border transfers is to assure compliance with the legal frameworks of diverse countries, each of which has its own different set of rules, tax code and other legal norms that make it challenging to manage business between different countries. 

Blockchain technology, by its nature, is not bound to any nation: As a peer-to-peer technology, the shift of assets on the blockchain can be freely conducted across borders.

The advancement of blockchain technology enables small businesses to build international companies. The blockchain eliminates the barriers between large and small companies, providing both the opportunity to plead to the global community.
