This panel discussion at the Black Blockchain Summit focuses on the Caribbean’s potential and challenges in adopting blockchain technology. Speakers from Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago share insights about local crypto markets, government attitudes, and community-led projects. They emphasize the need for supportive regulations, education, and infrastructure to enable fair participation, especially in agriculture and finance. While some regions show strong peer-to-peer crypto markets and growing awareness, political instability and conservative regulatory approaches remain hurdles. Panelists advocate for the Caribbean to proactively attract investment, build real use cases, and foster innovation beyond reliance on governments to thrive in the blockchain age.
