Abstract
Even as whole of the world has summoned against Covid’19, everyone is now turning to think that how the world will be different after the unprecedented crises. As businesses rush to adapt to the new world of social distancing, the pandemic has accelerated an inexorable trend towards the digital commerce. This broader shift should also mean the widespread adoption and use of digital currencies, which would encompass and provide the stronger consumer financial and privacy protections to support the growing trend. Cryptocurrencies could create a more open financial system with improved consumer privacy protections.
