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.
