Why Africa is the Best Use Case for Crypto with VALR CEO, Farzam Ehsani
Listen now
Description
While a lot of crypto media focuses on the US and Europe, I believe Africa is a great case study for digital assets. VALR is based in Africa, making Farzam the perfect guest to discuss what's happening on the continent. In a wide-ranging interview, I ask: Why are stablecoins so popular? Why are local trading pairs essential? What's happening in Africa's crypto scene? Does the crypto industry have a trust crisis? Has hyperinflation boosted demand for crypto? What are the main use cases for crypto in Africa? Which African countries have the highest demand? From Ethiopia to Eritrea, Zimbabwe to Zambia, Farzam has deep knowledge of this vibrant market. And as VALR prepares to mark its sixth anniversary, the entrepreneur shares the fascinating lessons he's learned while building an exchange used by retail and institutional customers in Africa and beyond.
