In addition, the firms will be looking to “make it easier than ever to deposit and pay out in African currencies on FTX.com, including mobile money and local bank account integrations.”

“As we built Africa’s largest platform for trading African currencies, one thing has been clear – that this continent is the future of global, digital economies. After serving these booming enterprises for years, we know that the next generation of users, creators & builders for the Web3 economy is undoubtedly African.”
Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO and Founder of FTX, said:
“We look forward to working closely with them, and the local regulatory bodies, to bring all of our products and services to the African market in a compliant way. Additionally, we look forward to doing our part locally by supporting efforts by artists & creators in the community.”
