- Tether has announced a plan to expand blockchain education in Guinea to promote digital literacy and financial inclusion
- Tether has partnered with Rezo Money to organize blockchain workshops across Conakry
- Tether has expanded its focus beyond issuing stablecoins by promoting blockchain education in emerging markets
In a move to promote digital literacy and financial inclusion in emerging markets, stablecoin giant Tether recently announced a plan to expand blockchain education in the Republic of Guinea. Tether hopes to achieve this through a partnership with digital payment platform Rezo Money, with a series of workshops planned across the capital city, Conakry. The partnership represents the latest move by Tether to expand its presence in the crypto sector from just issuing the world’s biggest stablecoin.
Conakry University Students to Benefit
Tether announced the initiative last week, with students at three major universities in Conakry benefiting from the deal. The workshops will cover essential topics, including the fundamentals of blockchain technology and the practical applications of cryptocurrency payment methods.
By engaging students in interactive sessions and practical skill-building exercises, the program aims to equip them with the necessary tools to leverage these technologies in both personal and professional contexts.
Rezo Will Act as Sandbox
Participants will have the opportunity to be onboarded onto the Rezo platform, where they can gain hands-on experience with blockchain technology and stablecoin payments through real-life use cases. This approach is designed to ensure that students not only understand the theoretical aspects of blockchain but also how to apply it in real-world scenarios.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Rezo to bring blockchain education to Guinea,” said Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. “This initiative is a critical step in empowering students with the knowledge and skills needed to participate actively in the digital economy, a cause we are deeply committed to. By providing practical insights and real-life use cases, we aim to bridge the knowledge gap and promote financial inclusion in the region.”
Ibrahima Soumano, Co-founder and CEO of Rezo, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the significance of the collaboration:
This marks a pivotal step in driving blockchain education to those who need it the most and in ways that they understand the most.
Tether’s involvement in this initiative is part of its broader commitment to blockchain education across Africa. The company has been actively supporting educational projects, including sponsoring the Africa Tech Summit and collaborating with various organizations to enhance cryptocurrency literacy on the continent.
Tether adds that this partnership with Rezo Money underscores its ongoing efforts to foster economic growth and financial empowerment through education in emerging markets.
