The border-less nature of cryptocurrencies is once again showing its potential, allowing individuals and businesses to send funds to organizations coordinating relief efforts across the globe.

What an incredible opportunity for blockchain, particularly DeFi to shine and prove to the masses how beneficial it can be to the world as a whole!

DeFi networks will allow anyone to access finance tools irrespective of their citizenship, location, wealth and status.

The future is bright, beyond the fog of the current world crisis, and it's there for everyone!
