Crypto has given many Africans a “lifeline” to transact more freely without government influence, according to three African-based crypto CEOs.
Chris Maurice, founder and CEO of Yellow Card, Africa’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, says crypto in Africa “is growing at the speed of light” because it allows many Africans to escape from the traditional financial system’s failures and transact more freely.
