Silver Scott Mines Highlights Blockchain Role in Mitigating Trade War Impacts Through Direct Market Access

FRANKLIN, NEW JERSEY / ACCESS Newswire / April 3, 2025 / Silver Scott Mines, Inc. (OTC Pink:SILS), a pioneering company in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) for the blockchain, outlines how decentralized infrastructure solutions could help mitigate disruptions caused by escalating global trade tensions. Blockchain decentralization offers tangible solutions for industries navigating global trade wars by bypassing traditional nation-state friction through five core innovations: Direct Global Access: Decentralized platforms enable businesses to engage international partners without intermediaries, sidestepping politicized trade barriers. Projects can tokenize assets (e.g., commodities, invoices) and trade them peer-to-peer via DeFi protocols, avoiding tariff-choked channels. Smart Contract Automation: Self-executing contracts enforce terms without government oversight, automatically handling customs compliance, payments, and delivery verification. This reduces disputes and eliminates bureaucratic delays. Stablecoin Payments: Cryptocurrencies like USDC provide tariff-resistant settlement mechanisms, cutting transaction costs by 40-60% compared to traditional forex channels. Immutable Provenance Tracking: Agricultural and manufacturing sectors use blockchain to verify product origins/quality in real-time, neutralizing protectionist 'dumping' accusations. Decentralized Arbitration: Blockchain-based dispute resolution platforms (e.g., Kleros) use tokenized governance to settle cross-border conflicts faster. 'These mechanisms collectively create parallel trade channels where compliance is cryptographic rather than geopolitical', said Tom Bustamante, strategic advisor for Silver Scott. 'While not eliminating all trade war impacts of course, blockchain does shift leverage from nations to market participants through transparent, rules-based systems. What decentralized systems provide isn't a solution to trade wars, but a means to circumvent their most disruptive effects.'
