His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate.

Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021.
