A Major Push for Crypto Education in Africa
Africa’s crypto revolution is gaining momentum, but a lack of financial education remains a barrier to widespread adoption. To bridge this gap, Quidax, a leading African crypto exchange, has joined forces with Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, in a strategic move to educate 15,000 Africans on blockchain technology.
Starting in Nigeria and Ghana, this initiative will empower individuals and businesses with the knowledge and tools to navigate the digital economy, trade cryptocurrencies, and integrate blockchain into their financial activities.
Why This Partnership Matters
With unstable currencies and limited access to traditional banking, many Africans turn to Bitcoin and stablecoins like USDT as an alternative. This collaboration aims to:
• Demystify cryptocurrency and debunk common misconceptions.
• Teach practical blockchain applications for individuals and businesses.
• Provide real-world skills that enable people to earn and invest using digital assets.
“With growing interest in digital assets across Africa, stablecoins like USDT provide a secure and stable financial tool for everyday transactions.”
— Buchi Okoro, CEO of Quidax
“Africa is at the forefront of blockchain adoption. This partnership is about equipping people with the knowledge to use crypto responsibly and effectively.”
— Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether
How Will the Program Work?
The initiative is designed to simplify blockchain education through workshops & interactive Sessions, financial literacy campaigns, community engagement, addressing fears and skepticism surrounding crypto and practical case studies.
How Crypto is Changing Lives in Africa
The benefits of blockchain education are already visible. Quidax shared the story of a Nigerian woman who learned crypto trading through Quidax Academy and now earns a steady income from digital assets, while balancing her job as a lecturer with crypto investments.
This is just one example of how blockchain knowledge can create financial independence.
The Bigger Picture: Africa’s Crypto Future
Africa has one of the fastest-growing crypto adoption rates, yet many still lack access to quality financial education. This partnership aims to:
• Increase blockchain literacy among young Africans.
• Promote stablecoins as a safer alternative for savings and transactions.
• Prepare businesses for a digital financial future with decentralized finance (DeFi).
For Quidax and Tether, success will be measured by how many people embrace crypto responsibly, transforming financial opportunities across Africa.
