Evans, also a law professor at Penn State’s Dickinson Law School, said Ethereum can yield a more equitable version of global finance. Inclusion is baked into the platform but shouldn’t be taken for granted, she said.

“We have a better chance with this system than we do with the existing infrastructure. But will this end up being a microcosm of tech and finance? In many ways, it looks like that now but there is promise.”

The CoinDesk Live session was the first in a five-day series of live-streamed conversations. It comes as part of CoinDesk’s Ethereum at Five package.
