Islamic Micro-Finance & CryptoCurrency Dr Zareen Roohi Ahmed Founder, IFCC (Islamic Finance & CryptoCurrency Think Tank) UK

The Changing Face of Finance World is moving towards becoming cashless and using cryptocurrency Dubai, Bangladesh, India and other countries will be ‘cashless societies’ within the next 2-4 years 25%+ of Kenya’s GDP is through mobile payments e.g. M-Pesa Even though the average pre- paid value is $1 Dollar

Cryptocurrency – the opportunity Size of Islamic Economy is over 3 Trillion USD 700+ cryptocurrencies in existence So far no Shariah Certified Cryptocurrency Huge Potential in Muslim majority markets, Islamic Banks, Charities & the Halal Industries Helps to promote equitable and fair business practices throughout the world Most important: encourages unity, fosters good relations between cultures…

Let’s be clear…. “Islamic Finance is a system, it is not religion. Therefore it can be utilized & operated by both Muslim and Non-Muslim communities for Poverty Alleviation, Social & Economic Development.” Zubair Mughal, Al Huda CIBE

How does Cryptocurrency apply to Islamic Finance & Islamic Microfinance? Initial research on cryptocurrency seemed to tick all the right boxes: Conforms with the prohibition of riba Social benefits, positive externalities (Maslaha) Mutual risk-sharing (Musharakah) Value is determined by supply and demand Fiat currency is born of riba Whereas the quantity of digital currency in circulation increases at a predictable and steady rate; Ultimate cap on quantity is hardcoded into programme (120 bn OneCoin) So rather than being lent into existence at the whim of a person; New units of cryptocurrency help to maintain the security and stability of the cryptocurrency userbase and increase its value.

IFCC brought together leaders from the Islamic Finance & CryptoCurrency worlds OneCoin was used as main case study due to centralised system Experts & scholars agreed that cryptocurrency can be used as a viable currency according to Islamic principles if: It is accepted by a mass of people It begins to be used (to buy/trade) in the public domain Islamic finance principles do not restrict the use of technology, so long as technology is ethical

As a result of this work OneCoin launched its 1st Islamic Finance Product – a saving facility Shariah Compliant Option

OneCoin Leading the Way Following audit & assessment of OneCoin, the first product was certified at the end of September. Making OneCoin the first cryptocurrency to have a Shariah Certified Product - Coinsafe (saving facility) Recommendations made to OneCoin on what needs to happen to make the rest of their systems Shariah Compliant too They will have to Develop/change some elements within its systems to make them Shariah compliant E.g. one of the recommendations is to have an account with an Islamic bank – so Muslim users can choose to send funds to an Islamic, interest free bank account * Also made recommendations for new Shariah compliant products & systems Entire process will take a few months, but shows they are listening to the needs of its Muslim audience and will do whatever it takes to make OneCoin accessible to everyone & become the most Shariah Complaint CryptoCurrency in the world

Islamic Microfinance & Cryptocurrency Working with Al Huda CIBE to develop a fintech solution to alleviating poverty through a revolving model of microfinance using cryptocurrency As cryptocurrency becomes more widespread (over next couple of years), so more of it will be utilised in place of tradtional currency
