As Africa cements its place in the global crypto economy, Quidax and Tether are driving education to unlock new opportunities.

The strategic partnership between Quidax, a regulated Nigerian cryptocurrency exchange, and Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry, is set to transform blockchain education across Africa, starting with Nigeria and Ghana.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Digital Finance

As digital currencies gain traction across Africa, a significant knowledge gap remains. Many individuals and businesses are keen to explore the benefits of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins but lack the necessary education to navigate the ecosystem effectively.

Recognising this, Quidax and Tether have launched an initiative aimed at equipping over 15,000 people with essential skills and insights into the world of digital assets.

This partnership will focus on four key pillars:

• Financial Literacy Campaigns: Raising awareness about digital assets, their benefits, and their role in financial inclusion.
• Thought Leadership Initiatives: Engaging experts to share insights on blockchain technology and its applications.
• Interactive Workshops: Providing hands-on training to help individuals and businesses adopt digital assets.
• Community Engagement Efforts: Encouraging grassroots participation to promote deeper understanding and adoption.

The Role of USDT in Africa’s Digital Economy

One of the key drivers behind this initiative is the growing importance of stablecoins like USDT (Tether) in Africa’s financial ecosystem.

With many local currencies experiencing volatility, stablecoins offer a secure and efficient means for individuals to store value and conduct transactions seamlessly.

Buchi Okoro, CEO of Quidax, emphasised the significance of this collaboration: “With the growing interest in digital assets across Africa, stablecoins like USDT provide a secure and efficient means for individuals to store value and conduct transactions. Our collaboration with Tether enables us to bridge the knowledge gap and expand cryptocurrency education, ensuring that everyday users can benefit from these financial innovations.”

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the region’s significant role in global blockchain adoption: “Africa is at the forefront of blockchain adoption, with Ghana and Nigeria leading as emerging markets. By partnering with Quidax, we aim to equip individuals and businesses with the tools to leverage digital assets responsibly. Through financial education, we are laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and accessible financial ecosystem.”

Why Quidax is the Perfect Partner for Tether

Founded in 2018, Quidax has established itself as a leading cryptocurrency exchange, serving customers in over 70 countries and boasting a user base exceeding one million.

The platform simplifies buying, selling, storing, and transferring cryptocurrencies while also providing over-the-counter (OTC) trading and API tools for fintech companies to integrate cryptocurrency services seamlessly.

Quidax’s deep-rooted presence in Africa and its commitment to making digital assets accessible make it an ideal partner for Tether in this ambitious educational drive.

By leveraging Quidax’s local expertise and Tether’s global influence, this initiative is on track to make a lasting impact on Africa’s digital finance landscape.
