Safcoin plans in Africa

According to Ferreira, the duo of crypto and e-commerce would go a long way in providing a solution to digital payment in Africa, especially in the wake of the AFCFTA.
“Cryptovalley.Africa taps into many ways in which crypto positively impacts Africa,” he said. “Combining crypto and e-commerce is a very powerful duo, a solution to so many problems in the digital payment environment across Africa.”
“More shoppers are now able to support local African sellers in neighboring African countries with cross-border payments being secure and instant using the Safcoin mobile wallet.”
Sellers on the platform would also be able to make fiat cashout in local currencies available in Nigeria, South Africa and Ugandaa.
Fiat conversion for the coin will be available in 33 African countries by the end of 2021.
