Binance continues to be at the forefront of blockchain education through its offline meetups that have been instrumental in democratizing and deepening cryptocurrency adoption and accessibility in Francophone Africa. Just last month, the company launched a crypto education center in Yaoundé, Cameroon to provide resources and training for young people across Francophone Africa. Taking the mission a step further, the Francophone meetings demonstrate the blockchain giant’s continued commitment to offering opportunities for offline connections, learning and experience sharing in the crypto space.

“It is clear that francophone Africa has unlimited potential to be a key player in the blockchain revolution, and we are committed to giving more people access to the necessary information and tools to use digital assets and blockchain. Community is an important part of blockchain, and by bringing together like-minded people to learn and grow in the space, the future of blockchain in francophone Africa is inevitably prosperous.” said Carine Dikambi, Head of Francophone Africa at Binance.

The importance of these educational initiatives cannot be emphasized enough for the region. This is especially so because it is quite difficult for Africans to pay across countries. Cryptocurrency facilitates all this by innovating and simplifying transfers, cross-border transfers or settlements for users. These innovations are an engine of growth for crypto adoption in Francophone Africa and Africa as a whole, as they offer a borderless way for Africans to participate in the crypto market today.

With the growth in general user interest, education and even media interest, crypto has the potential to promote innovation, financial inclusion and economic competitiveness for Francophone Africa.

What you can expect from the upcoming meetings:

• Learn the basics of blockchain.
• Discover how others use crypto in everyday life and how to store value with crypto and earn from your crypto balances.
• Understand real-world applications of the blockchain.
• Understand crypto trading and how it works in a simple way.
