As socially interactive creatures, humans have always relied on systems of exchange for goods and services. These systems have often found themselves affected by sweeping societal changes such as new alliances, advancement in technology, and looming conflict, but the confirmed existence of an extraterrestrial race may perhaps be the single most seminal of these moments. As speculation abounds regarding their intention and we contend with the possibility we are no longer an apex predator, the potential for riches or ruin has never been greater. Today's banking and investment systems were not designed to cope with such a sweeping change to Earth's place in the universe, both in terms of domestic adjustment to the alien arrival, and in terms of humanity's likely future among the stars. We must task our best economists with calming the startled markets, funding new ways of living, and ultimately laying the groundwork for deep-space society and commerce.
