Binance Africa has just released 2020 midyear report, covering the activities and progress made so far towards adoption around Africa.
Binance Masterclass:
Binance Masterclass has provided valuable information and education about Bitcoin, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and more to Nigeria and the rest of Africa.
What started as a live community seminar event in January has evolved into a wide-reaching webinar as of June.
The masterclass and webinars span from schools around Nigeria and online conferences around other countries due to the adverse effects of COVID-19.
Binance African Community
It started with an intensive masterclass session in January. Binance’s community in Nigeria has relentlessly provided service and education to the country’s crypto community.
In the previous months, Binance has hosted more than 100 total events, both online and offline, across nine locations in Africa. This was possible with the gracious support of more than 10,000 Binancians who were present at these gatherings.
Another stellar achievement that Binance Nigeria has recorded is the ongoing effort to reach out to campuses in the country.
