"2024 has been the year of stablecoins and memecoins", shared VALR's Co-Founder and CPO, Badi S., during a panel at the Blockchain Africa Conference last week.

Meanwhile, stablecoins continue to deliver tangible benefits, such as faster and more affordable cross-border payments.

Today at the 10th Blockchain Africa Conference in South Africa 🇿🇦, VALR's Co-Founder and CPO, Badi S., joined an insightful panel discussing: → The Role of Crypto Exchanges in Africa and Beyond Sharing the stage with industry leaders Devon Krantz, Chris Maurice, and Marius Reitz, Badi highlighted the immense potential crypto has to address critical financial challenges on the continent. He emphasised: "Africa is one of the fastest-growing crypto markets globally, driven by a real need for solutions to financial challenges such as high remittance costs, currency instability, and limited banking access. With its youthful population and rapid mobile adoption, the continent, with the right support, is well-positioned to demonstrate to the world the transformative potential of crypto - driving financial inclusion, economic growth, and freedom." Congrats to Bitcoin Events on the 10th anniversary of this conference! 👏 #BAC2024 #BlockchainAfrica2024
