đ **Cryptocurrency Growth in Latin America and the Caribbean** đ
đ According to a joint report by the University of Cambridge and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the cryptocurrency industry in Latin America and the Caribbean has experienced significant growth from 2020 to 2022.
đ The industry more than doubled its size compared to 2016, as evidenced by a survey of 80 companies and institutions conducted from June to August last year.
đ° In the past, South American investors primarily entered the cryptocurrency space for speculative reasons, but since 2020, an increasing number have turned to cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation.
đ Most respondents in the survey identified the regulatory environment in the Asia-Pacific region as the primary obstacle to the cryptocurrency industry's growth.

This is epic news for Trinidad and Tobago, and a huge step towards web3 adoption in the #Caribbean .
I may have to drop by for a visit soon, do a bit of #CryptoTourism with my $BTC and $BNB gains lol, I've heard Tobago has some of the best beaches in the region.
*Checking flights (now) on #Travala $AVA đ
Hopefully, we hear news like this from a local Jamaican bank soon. đ€

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago and First Citizens Bank (FCB) to adopt BTC ETFs
First of all, this is exciting news for me and many other cryptocurrency holders that live in the country of Trinidad and Tobago and I'm very ecstatic.
Why?
The reason is that the , government said "That it has no dealings with cryptocurrencies, and that they're risky assets." Furthermore the government said that "cryptocurrencies are the playground for fraudulent behaviour"....paraphrasing there.
Now, to see the bank that I'm banking with, publish this article:
https://www.firstcitizensgroup.com/tt/news-insights/bitcoin-etf-approval-cryptocurrency-adoption/
On their web page...I'm really ecstatic; a case of euphoria has overtaken me. The Caribbean, mostly Trinidad and Tobago have always been late to adopt new technologies. Now that they have adopted the BTC ETF, Trinidad and Tobago, being a leader of the CARICOM Nations ( Caribbean Community), the Caribbean will, in no doubt in the future, adopt new cryptocurrencies, hopefully the ones with utility, the ones that I hold.....lol.
Here are my 10 reasons why the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and their adoption by First Citizens Bank could be significant for Trinidad and Tobago:
1. Diversification:
Bitcoin ETFs offer investors in Trinidad and Tobago a new avenue for diversifying their investment portfolios beyond traditional assets like stocks and bonds.
2. Accessibility:
The availability of Bitcoin ETFs makes it easier for individuals in Trinidad and Tobago to invest in Bitcoin without needing to directly purchase and store the cryptocurrency themselves.
3. Regulatory Oversight:
Approval by the government likely means that Bitcoin ETFs will be subject to regulatory oversight, providing investors with a greater sense of security and trust in the investment vehicle.
4. Institutional Adoption:
The adoption of Bitcoin ETFs by First Citizens Bank signifies growing acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies by traditional financial institutions in Trinidad and Tobago.
5. Market Growth:
Increased investment in Bitcoin ETFs could contribute to the growth of the cryptocurrency market in Trinidad and Tobago, attracting more participants and liquidity.
6. Financial Innovation:
Embracing Bitcoin ETFs demonstrates a willingness to embrace financial innovation and technology, positioning Trinidad and Tobago as a forward-thinking player in the global financial landscape.
7. Economic Opportunities:
The adoption of Bitcoin ETFs could create new economic opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs in Trinidad and Tobago, particularly in sectors related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
8. Global Integration:
By offering Bitcoin ETFs, Trinidad and Tobago becomes more integrated into the global financial system and can attract international investors interested in exposure to cryptocurrencies.
9. Educational Opportunities:
The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs provides an opportunity for educational initiatives to inform the public about cryptocurrencies and their potential benefits and risks.
10. Fostering Innovation:
By supporting the development and adoption of Bitcoin ETFs, Trinidad and Tobago encourages innovation in the financial sector, potentially leading to the creation of new products and services that benefit both investors and the economy.
By Richard Brown
Remember crypto currencies are very volatile and risky assets and I'm in no wise advocating for any crypto currency. Do your own research (DYOR). NEITHER AM I SAYING, that FIRST CITIZENS BANK will 100% adopt BTC. It could just be that the bank and the government of Trinidad and Tobago have recognised that the SEC have approved the BTC ETFs and are considering listing them on the Trinidad and Tobago stick exchange.

A First-Hand Account: Testing Dexe Protocol for On-Chain Governance
As a founding-member of Carib DAO, Iâm excited to share that weâve embarked on a journey to test Dexe Protocol ($DEXE ) for on-chain governance, and in the future, semi-autonomous crowdfunding. This initiative, set to last between six to twelve months, is a significant step towards the future of decentralized governance and crowdfunding within our community.
Why Dexe Protocol?
In short, the #DeXeProtocol provides cutting-edge solutions for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) where proposals, discussions, and execution can occur directly on-chain. We have been deep diving into their docs, audits, and contracts for the past few months and have found that the DeXe Protocol (DeXe DAO Network) is potentially a great foundation to build our proposal system, in-line with our Lite Paper.
Benefits to Carib DAO
By testing the Dexe Protocol, we stand to gain valuable insights into the workings of on-chain governance. This hands-on experience will allow us to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the protocol, enabling us to make informed decisions about our governance structure in the future. The feedback from the community will also provide us with a clearer understanding of our membersâ preferences and concerns, which can be addressed to improve our governance model.
Benefits to Dexe Protocol
On the other hand, Dexe Protocol also stands to benefit from our testing phase. The feedback and data gathered from the test will provide them with real-world insights into how their protocol performs under different conditions. This information can be invaluable in identifying areas for improvement and making necessary adjustments to enhance the protocolâs effectiveness and user-friendliness.
The Test Phase Begins!
To kickstart this process, weâve posted our first three proposals:
Adding Carib DAO's Basic InformationEnabling Community RewardsAdding Validators
In addition, weâre hosting a competition to incentivize voting and gather feedback from the community.
𧧠$250 Voting Contest
The top 20 voters will share a $250 BNB and CARIB reward pool. This approach not only encourages active participation but also ensures that the feedback received is comprehensive and representative of our communityâs views.
My Initial Feedback
After voting on all three proposals, I found the process to be easy and straight forward. The gas fees can range from $2 to $5 in total, so try to max your vote with the least amount of transactions in order to save on gas. As always, I suggest using a hot wallet along with Wallet Guard when interacting with any contract.
While weâre not in a partnership or collaboration with Dexe Protocol, it's clear that our independent yet interconnected activities present a mutually beneficial scenario. Through this testing phase, both entities are going to gain valuable insights that can drive their respective growth and evolution. Itâs a testament to the power of the web3 ecos, where independent projects can mutually benefit from shared activities without formal partnerships, its...
Reciprocation.
