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
