Top cryptocurrency news: Binance CEO meets with President of CAR to discuss cryptocurrency adoption
Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, posted a tweet that he had just met the President of the Central African Republic, after meeting the presidents of Ivory Coast and Senegal in July.
The two discussed a wide range of topics like education, investments, and acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the Central African Republic.
The CEO of the largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, Changpeng Zhao, recently met with the president of the Central African Republic (CAR) Faustin-Archange Touadéra as part of his most recent effort to promote adoption in Africa. The meeting takes place just after the CAR became the first nation in Africa to recognize bitcoin as legal tender.
The CAR leader highlighted his meeting with Zhao as an immensely significant move for his country in a tweet lauding the meeting.
According to Touadéra, the Binance CEO presented several amazing ideas based on his experience with the crypto exchange during the meeting, which he also called a “truly remarkable event.” Touadéra added:
“Some of the meeting's objectives were education, investments, crypto acceptance in the Central African Republic and the region, and the Sangoproject vision. Better things are developing for the future.”
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao confirmed the meeting in a tweet, saying the two talked about education, investments, regulatory frameworks, and crypto adoption.
Zhao, who has previously stated that he is on a mission to boost adoption in Africa, met with the Presidents of the Ivory Coast and Senegal before his recent meeting with the CAR leader. Meanwhile, Zhao's meeting with Touadéra is the second time he has met with the president of a country that has legalized bitcoin. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele is the first leader of a bitcoin-adopting country to welcome the Binance CEO.
Meanwhile, despite the CAR's continued attempts to increase Sango token sales, the number of tokens sold stood below fifteen million at the time of writing. This means that more than 195 million Sango tokens, out of a total of 210 million, have still to be purchased two weeks after the token sale began.
