Globcoin Q4–2019 Update
2019 is coming to an end and we can honestly say that -SO FAR- this has been the most important year for our digital currencies projects. If you followed our 2019 updates, you know that this year we launched the GLX stablecoin, we took it around the world for several usecases, we consolidated valuable partnerships and we established some amazing projects for next year.
2020 is looking good, for us and for you! Our team has been working hard on new interesting use cases that will show the huge potential of our basket-based stablecoin approach. But before we take things to the next level, we want to give you an overview on how we’re closing this year.
Open campaign for donating to Africa
Since September 2019 it is possible to donate to Africa using GLX stablecoin; and throughout Q4 we had a strong, open campaign to raise funds for Learning Lions, a non-profit organization based in Kenya that helps young adults in rural areas to acquire business and digital skills. The team behind Learning Lions won the Google Impact Challenge for their work providing job opportunities to young graduates. The campaign is still open! These are the steps to donate.
Globcoin CEO joins board of top Fintech leaders
Our partner Daily Fintech, a very respected fintech-analysis platform, announced their new team of global fintech leaders who will guide their editorial direction. We’re happy that Globcoin CEO Helie d’Hautefort was chosen to be part of this team!

And remember that on Daily Fintech you can book for private consultations with fintech experts and pay using GLX stablecoin. More about it here: GLX now accepted on Daily Fintech
Meetings and Events
Following our autumn campaign where the team attended top events like #Blockchain4Impact hosted by the United Nations in Geneva, the Swiss Leaders Dialogue, the Blockchain Live and the Crime Symposium #37; we also took the GLX to the Finance Magnates Summit where we had the opportunity to do some networking and arrange meetings with key contacts in the industry.
In November, Helie also discussed stablecoins and crypto with students of the Master in Finance at the INSEEC London! We appreciate the opportunity to introduce young enthusiasts to the endless possibilities of crypto.
Looking for a way to help vulnerable economies
Our Research team has also become very interested in developing useful, practical and convenient use cases for countries with vulnerable economies; like, for example, Argentina, who’s now facing a high inflation and the weakening of their national currency, the Argentine peso. As we keep working on this, we published a small overview of crypto regulation in Argentina, because we think their ambiguous posture is very interesting. Read A quick look at crypto regulation in Argentina.
We are also actively looking for partners in this region so if you want to suggest an opportunity, don’t hesitate to contact our business development team at partners@globcoin.io. We’d love to hear from you.
