Binance Announces Blockchain Education Meetup Tour Across Francophone Africa
Binance, a leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency infrastructure provider, has launched a crypto education tour in five French-speaking African countries as part of its mission to drive blockchain adoption and increase financial accessibility in the region.
Participants in the meet-ups learn the fundamentals of blockchain, discover how others are using crypto in their daily lives, and how to store value with crypto and earn on your crypto balances. They also understand real-world applications of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and how they work in simple terms.
On September 10th, Binance hosted the first meetup of the tour in Cotonou, Benin, with the goal of equipping crypto newcomers and enthusiasts in the region with the necessary knowledge about blockchain technology and how to use it as a tool for financial freedom.
The Benin meetup was an offline educational event that introduced people to cryptocurrency and the Binance Ecosystem. There were approximately 400 attendees who were enthusiastic about blockchain technology. Attendees also took part in interactive games such as an NFT quiz, with 250+ winners receiving NFTs.
The tour will continue in Togo on September 24, 2022, Côte D’Ivoire on October 8, 2022, Cameroon on October 22, 2022, and Burkina Faso on October 9, 2022. 2 We are committed to giving more people access to the information and tools they need to use digital assets and blockchain. .

“It is clear that Francophone Africa has untapped potential to be a key player in the blockchain revolution, and we are committed to giving more people access to the information and tools they need 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 undoubtedly prosperous,” said Carine Dikambi, Francophone Africa Lead at Binance.
The significance of these educational initiatives for the region cannot be overstated. This is especially true given how difficult it is for Africans to make cross-border payments. All of this is made easier by cryptocurrency, which innovates and simplifies remittances, cross-border transfers, and settlements for users.
Because they provide a borderless way for Africans to participate in the crypto market today, these innovations are a growth engine for crypto adoption in Francophone Africa and Africa as a whole.
With an increase in general user interest, education, and even media interest, cryptocurrency has the potential to foster innovation, financial inclusion, and economic competitiveness in Francophone Africa.
What to look forward to at the upcoming meetups:
Participants in the meet-ups learn the fundamentals of blockchain, discover how others are using crypto in their daily lives, and how to store value with crypto and earn on your crypto balances. They also understand real-world applications of blockchain and cryptocurrencies and how they work in simple terms.
