The masterclass saw over 3,900 crypto beginners learning about blockchain basics, the easiest ways to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and how to make passive or active income.
Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain ecosystem, also hosted newbie walkthroughs, a webinar series for beginners aimed at providing an introduction to cryptocurrency and interactive webinars across the region.
In September 2021, Binance hosted a trading boot camp for crypto enthusiasts across Francophone Africa. The masterclass equipped over 17,400 people with trading skills and an understanding of how it works in simple terms. At present, over 25,000 people have benefitted from the Francophone focused education efforts.

It is also clear that the potential of Francophone Africa to be a core part of this development is endless and we are committed to ensuring that more people have access to the right information.” said Carine Dikambi, Francophone Africa Lead at Binance.
