A noteworthy link to follow: A certain institutional-level blockchain platform's collaboration with Africa's leading mobile payment service provider is rewriting the new definition of financial inclusion. This partnership will connect a well-established on-chain infrastructure with a payment network of over 60 million users, directly providing digital financial infrastructure that meets sovereignty requirements to eight African countries. Users can seamlessly access more resilient on-chain financial tools based on their existing payment habits—this is a fairly direct entry point for emerging markets exploring digital assets.
