Usawa, an asset-backed digital currency, designed to help make an impact on poverty in underdeveloped and developing countries, is looking to launch its services in Kenya.
In a discussion with Rich Management, the CEO of Usawa, Gary Nealon, spoke about the real estate investment opportunities that are made possible with an asset-backed token.
''We're striving to provide a safe store of value for the equivalent of $1B USD over the next 5 years. This is done by helping individuals in threatened countries invest directly in our [#Usawa] asset-backed tokens.'' @NealonSolutions President #Usawa https://t.co/aZ3a03cSsz pic.twitter.com/z2vFd2Y2oq

Speaking about the new offering, Gary said:
”The value of our token is designed to be stable & slowly increase over time. Usawa tokens are not a speculation or consensus currency like Bitcoin or most all of the other cryptocurrencies on the market today.”
Gary also spoke about investment opportunities that the company is offering that bypass government financial manipulation:
”Our [#Usawa] token was built specifically to provide a safe, asset-backed, liquid, store of value for individuals living in countries that have been taken advantage of on the global playground.”
"Tokenisation is about taking a hard asset, widening ownership and diversifying the risk. We are now seeing that around the world." https://t.co/q3FxU5b6Zh @NealonSolutions @bantigito @RichTvAfrica @mindspeakclub | https://t.co/qhpIrgphqb pic.twitter.com/hgMTzjkJcl

Usawa.io is on a mission to fix the financial system. Our purpose is to empower individuals who live in countries that have been ravaged by financial manipulation, greed and political corruptness.”
Gary hopes Kenya will become the first country where the model can be proven before it rolls out to other developing countries. At the moment, the idea is to work with governments that are more receptive to the idea and technology before going global.
