The document discusses how the coronavirus pandemic has triggered a global economic crisis that could be as severe as the Great Depression of 1929. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly at risk due to lack of access to reliable, affordable funding from traditional sources. A new fintech solution called Byppass aims to address this challenge by enabling businesses to bypass banks and securely process invoices and payments directly between clients and suppliers using distributed ledger technology. This could help many small businesses survive the crisis by reducing costs and speeding up the payment process.
