Quidax and Tether Partner to Boost Blockchain Education in Africa

Quidax, one of Africa’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a strategic collaboration with Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, to advance blockchain education across the continent. Launching in Nigeria and Ghana, this project aims to equip individuals and businesses with the knowledge to navigate the digital asset space effectively.

As Africa continues to emerge as a major player in the global crypto economy, the demand for digital financial literacy has grown. Through this partnership, Quidax and Tether plan to empower over 15,000 people by providing access to financial literacy programs, thought leadership discussions, interactive workshops, and community engagement efforts to bridge knowledge gaps in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

Buchi Okoro, CEO of Quidax, emphasized the importance of stablecoins like USDT in driving financial inclusion across Africa. “With the rising interest in digital assets, stablecoins offer a reliable way for people to store value and conduct business transactions seamlessly. Partnering with Tether enables us to drive broader cryptocurrency education and help individuals benefit from this evolving financial landscape,” Okoro stated.

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, highlighted the company’s commitment to fostering financial education and empowering communities to participate in the digital economy. “Africa is at the forefront of blockchain adoption, with Ghana and Nigeria standing out as key emerging markets. Through this collaboration with Quidax, we aim to provide individuals and businesses with the knowledge needed to engage with digital assets responsibly. By investing in financial education, we are laying the groundwork for a more inclusive and accessible financial ecosystem,” Ardoino said.

Addressing Misinformation and Expanding Access

The partnership is expected to scale up existing blockchain education efforts while tackling widespread misconceptions about cryptocurrency and stablecoins. Quidax noted that many people in Africa already use digital assets as an alternative income source, and the initiative aims to formalize and expand that knowledge.

“The collaboration with Tether will allow us to reach more people who are eager to learn. We have already seen individuals leverage Bitcoin and stablecoins to generate income. Recently, we spoke with a Quidax customer who started with our Quidax Academy, learned about crypto, and is now trading successfully while also pursuing her passion for lecturing,” the company shared.

A key focus of the initiative will be demonstrating practical ways individuals and businesses can integrate digital assets into their daily financial activities.

For both Quidax and Tether, success will be measured by tangible results, including improved financial literacy and increased adoption of digital assets. Metrics such as the number of people reached through financial literacy campaigns, the effectiveness of educational workshops, and the level of real-world crypto adoption will be key indicators of progress.
