The current positive news we’re seeing is basically all about stablecoins. The African Trade Zone under the World Trade Organization recently launched a plan aiming to connect payments across its 55 member countries using stablecoin settlements, thereby reducing bank transfer costs. Checked it out, and the stablecoin they’re using is actually USDT, rather than issuing regionally compliant stablecoins like some Asian countries have done. The underlying tech is supported by the veteran crypto project IOTA, with endorsements from reputable organizations like the Tony Blair Institute and the official WEF. However, since this won’t go live until Q1 next year, it’s still unclear how many Africans will be onboarded into the crypto space. If it’s just about using stablecoins, then the benefits will only indirectly impact the underlying public chain. After all, as retail investors, it’s tough for us to get involved with Tether, the parent company of USDT.
