Kontigo is building something that could redefine the relationship between money, banking, and access.
In this x10 episode of Rethinking Tech, Aparna and Harinda break down how Kontigo’s USDT-backed banking services aim to serve the unbanked in developing countries, why stablecoins matter for financial inclusion, and what this model signals about the future of global finance.
They explore:
What Kontigo is and how it works
Why stablecoins (like USDT) can help people left out of traditional banking
How this intersects with remittances, inflation, and currency volatility
What broader economic and regulatory questions this raises
Whether this is a meaningful shift or a temporary experiment
