Traditional financial systems often exclude a significant portion of the population due to barriers such as a lack of identification, high transaction costs, limited banking infrastructure, and strict eligibility requirements. In this context, cryptocurrency has emerged as an innovative financial technology with the potential to enhance financial inclusion and reduce poverty. This study examines the role of cryptocurrency in reducing poverty and improving access to finance. It explores how digital currencies, powered by blockchain technology, provide alternative financial services such as peer-to-peer payments, cross-border transfers, savings, and access to decentralized financial (DeFi) platforms. These innovations enable individuals without access to traditional banking systems to participate in the global economy. The study adopts a qualitative research approach, relying on secondary data from academic literature, policy reports, and case studies. Findings suggest that cryptocurrency can empower unbanked and underbanked populations by offering low-cost, fast, and borderless financial services. It also highlights the role of decentralized finance in providing lending, borrowing, and investment opportunities without intermediaries. However, the study identifies several challenges, including regulatory uncertainty, price volatility, cybersecurity risks, lack of financial literacy, and limited technological infrastructure. These factors may hinder the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency for poverty alleviation. The study concludes that while cryptocurrency is not a standalone solution to poverty, it serves as a powerful complementary tool for financial inclusion. It recommends improved regulation, digital literacy programs, and supportive policy frameworks to maximize the benefits of cryptocurrency in enhancing access to finance and reducing poverty....Preview Download Preview +Other Public Administration project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of industrial conflict on the performance of workers in the government parastatal (a case study of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)»Human resources as a catalyst for economic growth and development in Nigeria (a case study of Abuja municipal area council) »The influence of effective personnel management practice in organization performance»Local government financial autonomy and grass root development in Nigeria (a case study of Afikpo north local government area)»Effects of delayed payment of lecturers salaries and wages on students performance»Manpower training and development as a tool for effective performance in public sector in Nigeria»The impact of poor revenue generation on the development of Local Government Areas»Enhancing political stability in Nigeria through good governance ( a case study of Abia state)»Fuel subsidy removal and the Nigerian economy (a case study of Abakiliki local government area, Ebonyi state) »Niger-Delta crisis and its impact on socio-economic development in Nigeria»Accountability and corruption in local government in Nigeria (Case study of Bonny local government area of Rivers state)»Political instability a major hindrance to effective policy implementation and good governance (a case study of Nigeria 1983 -1999)»Bureaucracy and efficiency (a case study of Enugu state civil service)»Impact of collective bargaining techniques on industrial relations practice (a case study of two selected firms from NUPENG and NUBIFE)»The level of implementation of the pension act in federal polytechnic: (a study of Akanu Ibiam federal polytechnic, Unwana Afikpo Ebonyi state)
