Charles Hoskinson Sees Cryptocurrencies Playing Larger Role in Afghanistan<\/h2>\n

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano and co-founder of Ethereum, explained in an interview with CNBC Tuesday that cryptocurrencies are likely to play a larger role in Afghanistan, citing a rising need for more privacy.<\/p>\n

The Cardano founder believes that there will be ongoing civil war in the country and \u201calready the remnants of the northern alliance have been formed, and they\u2019re going to need resources.\u201d He noted that \u201cUnlike the last time, in the 90\u2019s when this happened, now cryptocurrencies are there,\u201d elaborating:<\/p>\n

It is my belief that cryptocurrencies are going to play a larger role in Afghanistan this time around, in the war for and against the Taliban forces.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon said Monday that the U.S. finished its withdrawal efforts from the airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, effectively ending a 20-year conflict that began soon after the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001. However, there are some U.S. citizens and Afghans in the country who wanted to leave Afghanistan but were unable to do so.<\/p>\n

Hoskinson described:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be really interesting to see how that gets integrated into statecraft and how that gets integrated into resistance against a regime that clearly doesn\u2019t care for the rights of many people and clearly wants to put in a theocracy that belongs more in the 13th century than the 21st century.<\/p>\n

Cryptocurrency and bitcoin adoption have been growing in Afghanistan particularly during the recent cash shortage.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index, compiled by blockchain data platform Chainalysis, shows that Afghanistan ranks 20th<\/a> out of 154 countries. In comparison, the U.S. ranks 8th on the index. The top-ranking country for crypto adoption is Vietnam, followed by India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n
