TechFlow News, March 1: According to Forbes, Caribbean leaders are driving growth in digital assets. Among the 15 member states of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), several have emerged as key nodes in the global crypto ecosystem. Experts attribute the Caribbean’s competitive edge in digital assets to its regulatory agility, demand for cross-border payments, and rapid execution capability.
Stefen Deleveaux, Chair of the Caribbean Blockchain Alliance, stated that the Caribbean recognizes cryptocurrency’s potential to address cross-border payment challenges and bank de-risking—demonstrating foresight into the technology’s value. Sheynel Smith, former Global Head of Compliance at CoinList, emphasized that the region is unencumbered by the bureaucratic systems of larger jurisdictions, enabling it to deliver a regulatory framework that balances innovation with compliance.
