Learn Crypto | Crypto Education Africa
Learn Crypto began its mission of free crypto education in 2020, providing simple, relevant, and engaging content to educate people about the world of crypto.
At Learn Crypto, we believe in the transformative potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology to empower the next generation. Our crypto education programme in Africa is a testament to this belief, working with and for the continent’s youth through comprehensive crypto education.
Why Africa?
In Africa, we see a young and vibrant population eager to embrace the digital age, as current and coming generations seek to overcome longstanding challenges in the region, such as lack of infrastructure, and access barriers to traditional finance and the global economy.
Where banks and financial institutions face difficulty in servicing financial needs, Africans have taken well to crypto’s peer-to-peer (P2P) utility, championing an original use of Bitcoin as a P2P digital money.
- Sub-Saharan Africa conducts about 6% of all crypto transaction volume through P2P exchanges – more than any other region in the world. Sub-Saharan nations record a staggering 80% of all crypto retail payments under $1,000 (Chainalysis 2022).
- Nigeria in West Africa and Kenya in East Africa ranked 11th and 19th in the Global Crypto Adoption Index 2022. In 2023, Nigeria climbed to 2nd.
The numbers elsewhere are as compelling:
- Crypto market revenue in Africa is projected at $450 million in 2024 driven by an expected 55 million crypto users by 2028, at less than 4% crypto penetration.
- In 2021, crypto transactions grew by 20 times in Africa, and continue to grow.
These points highlight the rapid growth and integration of cryptocurrencies into everyday life across the continent, driven by both necessity and opportunity.
Our Objectives
The rise of cryptocurrencies presents an unprecedented opportunity for financial inclusion, economic growth, and social empowerment. Our crypto education programme seeks to bridge the knowledge gap and equip young Africans with the skills needed to be at the forefront of the digital economy. With our partners, we aim to:
- Provide free, accessible, high-quality crypto education to African youth.
- Foster innovation and entrepreneurship in the blockchain space.
- Promote financial literacy and understanding of digital currencies.
- Create a community of informed crypto users and advocates.
Recent Seminars and Impact
In 2024, Learn Crypto kicked off a series of educational events in Nigeria and Kenya. The events at the University of Calabar, Nigeria, and Multimedia University, Kenya, featured engaging discussions, practical demonstrations, and inspiring stories from guest speakers.
From the feedback we received, there was clear enthusiasm and curiosity among students to learn more about cryptocurrency. With over 90 students enrolling in free crypto courses online and a growing community on WhatsApp and Telegram, we are witnessing what we hope are the beginnings of a ripple effect of knowledge and empowerment.
