In 2018, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/support\/announcement\/ff2ccd13f613433b881e2ccea52ef6ac\">launched a crypto trading platform<\/a> in\u00a0Uganda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">\u201cWith a population of 1.2 billion Africans and the prevalence of blockchain technology &amp; its use cases, we believe the African continent could lead the future of the blockchain industry,\u201d said Yi He, Binance co-founder and chief marketing officer, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/blog\/community\/binance-becomes-official-sponsor-of-the-totalenergies-africa-cup-of-nations-afcon-2021-421499824684903270\">an announcement of the deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"et6CV\">Afcon sponsorship is a unique opportunity for Binance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">The Africa Cup of Nations is the biggest sports tournament in the continent. It is being broadcasted in more than 160 countries around the world, with an audience of more than 300 million. Binance is looking to turn eyeballs on the most popular sport in Africa to drive crypto and blockchain adoption and enable greater access to financial services for the unbanked in the continent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">As part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/blog\/community\/binance-becomes-official-sponsor-of-the-totalenergies-africa-cup-of-nations-afcon-2021-421499824684903270\">the deal<\/a>, Binance will also be the official partner of the Assist of the Day, Binance Assist of the Week, and Binance Assist of the Tournament segments which the Confederation of African Football, the tournament\u2019s organizer, will promote across its social media channels and across all six venues in five cities in the west African country.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"et6CV\">Africa is a fast-growing region for crypto adoption<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">Africa is <a href=\"https:\/\/go.chainalysis.com\/rs\/503-FAP-074\/images\/Geography-of-Cryptocurrency-2021.pdf\">the third fastest-growing<\/a> (pdf) region for crypto adoption, growing by more than 1200% by value received from July 2020 to June 2021, according to Chainalysis, a platform that provides blockchain data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">One trend that\u2019s driving crypto usage in Africa is the <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/africa\/2050735\/kenyans-lead-the-world-in-peer-to-peer-crypto-trade\/\">growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency exchanges<\/a>, where users trade directly with each other, Chainalysis <a href=\"https:\/\/go.chainalysis.com\/rs\/503-FAP-074\/images\/Geography-of-Cryptocurrency-2021.pdf\">says<\/a> (pdf). <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/africa\/2068839\/peer-to-peer-trading-is-driving-africas-digital-money-revolution\/\">Africa leads the world in the use of P2P<\/a>, accounting for 1.2% of all African transaction volume and 2.6% of all volume for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">Africans use this type of trading <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/africa\/2050735\/kenyans-lead-the-world-in-peer-to-peer-crypto-trade\/\">to protect remittances and cross-border businesses<\/a> from high transfer fees and the risks of weakening currencies. Besides running an exchange platform, Binance has a P2P platform known as Binance B2P.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">Binance may also be looking to tap into Africa\u2019s youthful and Internet-savvy demographic. Sports could be a lever for crypto adoption as many sports fans are already using their smartphones for sports betting. A 2017 GeoPoll survey found that <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/africa\/1754902\/smartphones-are-driving-sports-betting-with-young-africans\/\">up to 54% of sub-Saharan African youth<\/a> between 17 and 35 years have engaged in sports betting. This demographic might be an easier target market for crypto adoption.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"et6CV\">Binance is positioning itself for Africa<\/h2>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">Africa is \u201ca hot market\u201d for crypto, blockchain, <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/emails\/quartz-forecast\/2067527\/\">Web3<\/a> startups and Binance is positioning itself for this region, says Michael Kimani, a Nairobi-based blockchain analyst. He adds that Binance is special because it has both an exchange and a P2P marketplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">\u201cThey\u2019re in a really good position to be one of the biggest crypto companies across Africa,\u201d says Kimani, who is also co-founder and head of growth for Africa at Fonbnk, a fintech company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">In Africa, Binance is competing with platforms such as Yellow Card, Luno, Buycoins Africa, Paxful, LocalCryptos, LocalBitcoins, and Remitano.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cyhZ9\">Although crypto is gaining popularity in Africa, most countries in the continent still haven\u2019t regulated it, with some including Nigeria even <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/africa\/1985223\/nigerias-crypto-ban-has-startups-and-traders-in-a-frenzy\/\">banning its use<\/a>. The allure of the currencies and lack of regulation have created a lucrative ground for scams, with Africans <a
