Several African countries are looking to launch their own virtual money, backed and issued by central banks<\/a> as their appetite for cryptocurrency grows significantly across the continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six African countries\u30fcaccording to a tracker from US think-tank Atlantic Council\u30fcare among 81 countries<\/a> working to revolutionize global finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the tracker, Nigeria, despite recently banning cryptocurrency<\/a>, is taking the lead in Africa as it plans to launch a pilot scheme before the end of 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"African<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For one thing, over the last two years, the West African country has been exploring the option of a digital Naira. According to the country\u2019s central bank, Nigeria is looking to improve the efficiency of the flow of foreign remittances, its second-largest foreign exchange earner<\/a> after oil. A digital currency could assist in this efficiency, the reason Nigeria is now pushing harder for digital currency adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"African<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other countries like Ghana, Morocco, Tunisia, Kenya, and Madagascar are still researching digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghana is working towards establishing a digital currency project called E-Cedi, and will prioritize blockchain technology-related projects. Morocco\u2019s central bank is also looking at the possibility of setting up a regulated digital currency ecosystem in the country, a development that comes after the country recently banned cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tunisia is exploring ways to advance its e-dinar, a blockchain-based digital version of the Tunisian dinar while the Central Bank of Madagascar has embarked on a project to study the issuance of a digital currency called e-Ariary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya is not left behind as the East African country\u2019s central bank is also picking up interest in a regulated digital ecosystem in Kenya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other economies like Tanzania, South Africa<\/a>, and Egypt are also exploring the best avenues and implementation strategies for a regulated regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sparked the sudden interest in cryptocurrency?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s still expensive to send money home from overseas. With digital currencies, however, it\u2019s much cheaper to send remittances to Africa. This high cost is a major motivator for the adoption of digital currencies by a growing number of African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Chainalysis in its 2020 Geography of Crytocurrency Report (PDF)<\/a>, in June 2020, Africa only accounted for 29% of global retail share cryptocurrency volume, compared to other regions. In other words, roughly $3.7 billion worth of cryptocurrency was transferred to and from overseas addresses to those based in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A report from the World Bank shows that most individuals pay an average of between 9% to 15% in transaction fees<\/a> to send remittances of below $200 to Africa. That\u2019s way higher compared to a global average of 6.8%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of crypto in Africa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Across the globe, central banks (80% of them<\/a>) are exploring use cases for the implementation of digital currencies involving central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Some are already testing proof-of-concept programs with cryptocurrency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With governments across Africa accelerating efforts to adopt regulated digital currencies, it\u2019s only a matter of time before CBDCs become a norm in Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
