Bitnob, a financial technology company that lets you send money to mobile money wallets and bank accounts, and Tether Operations Limited, the biggest company in the digital asset industry, are announcing a strategic partnership to assist in educating students in Africa about Bitcoin and Stablecoins.

Understanding Cryptocurrency: A Guide for Ghanaian Students
Bitnob will start a 25-person Ambassador programme as part of this partnership. These people will get full training on Blockchain, Bitcoin, and Stablecoins, which will help them spread this information in their communities. Ghana is an excellent example of an African country that has done well with cryptocurrency.
Chainalysis released a study that made Ghana the 29th country in the world regarding how many people use cryptocurrencies. Over 700,000 people in Ghana own some coin right now.
“We are excited to work with Bitnob to teach Ghanaian finance. According to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, this collaboration will teach crypto enthusiasts and students about Blockchain, Bitcoin, and Stablecoins and empower them to participate in the digital economy, primarily through the Ambassador programme, which will fill the knowledge gap in the region.
We are proud to work with Tether because they are dedicated to improving digital education worldwide, especially in developing countries.
The African Tech Summit and The African Bitcoin Conference in Ghana were both sponsored by Tether, and the company has been involved in many recent projects in Africa. More proof that Tether is the world leader in digital education: these projects have allowed people to share information and connect.
In Africa, cryptocurrency is beneficial because it gives people who don’t have bank accounts another way to do their business. Having a way to protect against inflation and send money to family and friends abroad without any problems solves one of the biggest problems people in the area have.
With Ghana’s rising use of cryptocurrencies and Tether’s dedication to improving digital education worldwide, this partnership shows how important it is to give everyone the tools they need to be a part of the digital economy and feel financially included.
