LAGOS/Nigeria: Africa’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Quidax, has announced a strategic partnership with Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry, to enhance blockchain education across the continent. The initiative aims to equip over 15,000 individuals and businesses with knowledge about Bitcoin and stablecoins, starting with Nigeria and Ghana.
As part of the collaboration, Quidax and Tether will roll out financial literacy campaigns, thought leadership programs, interactive workshops, and community engagement efforts to help users navigate the digital asset ecosystem safely and effectively.

USDT, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, plays a key role in financial inclusion by offering stability amid currency volatility and enabling seamless cross-border payments. With Africa emerging as a crucial player in the global crypto economy, this initiative aligns with the region’s growing demand for digital financial education.
