“# Everyone’s talking crypto for solving Sub-Saharan Africa’s payments problems <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

As global interest in stablecoins explodes, a number of key players are pushing especially hard for more adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the Center for Strategic and International Studies’ Africa Program published new analysis<\/a> advocating more options for crypto users in Sub-Saharan Africa. CSIS is a well-known Washington, DC-based think tank. <\/p>\n

The authors of the analysis, Judd Devermont and Topaz Mukulu, were extremely optimistic about the future role of crypto, specifically predicting that “Digital currencies almost certainly will become more common in general<\/a> and in sub-Saharan Africa in particular.” They conclude their analysis with a series<\/a> of recommendations, including more education and standardization of regulation across the region’s many borders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The same day, the G20-founded advisory group the Financial Stability Board held a meeting<\/a>\u00a0for its Sub-Saharan Africa Group.\u00a0Per its announcement, the group also discussed “the roadmap to enhance cross-border payments (Roadmap), including addressing regulatory and supervisory issues with respect to \u2018global stablecoins\u2019.”<\/p>\n

The FSB had not responded to Cointelegraph’s request for meeting minutes as of publication time.<\/p>\n
