Bankless Africa presents Sats & Gwei, a podcast for your weekly crypto news update from all around Africa!

African tech startups continue to push the limits in the African blockchain space, with Ejara completing its most recent $8million funding round to facilitate the building of its service which allows users to buy, sell and trade crypto through non-custodial wallets - meaning users own keys to their wallets!

South Africa is officially regulating cryptocurrency exchanges through the use of fiscal policies that will involve KYC procedures for doxxing these organizations and verifying customer ID documents. Also trending is the recently launched GetPaid platform built by Clickpesa on the stellar blockchain network geared towards improving the earning ability of freelancers, traders and creatives in Africa.

Headlining the crypto learning and earning space in the past week is the Mercy Corps and Fonbnk with combined efforts geared towards promoting web 3 inclusion and exploring earning opportunities in the space. Also, headlining in the web3 inclusion and advocacy space is Binance, via its recently held economic summit in Nigeria which was focused on making decentralized economies more accessible to the ordinary person.
