“As a part of Binance’s Open Platform initiative to enable more crypto access globally, Binance Cloud supports its customers and global partners with a complete turn-key exchange platform solution, consolidating the new financial infrastructure to an open platform based on blockchain technology.
With these initiatives focused on opening access to Binance’s technology and resources as an infrastructure provider, we aim to limit the technical challenges for platforms and partners, allowing them to focus on their users and local fiat access and accelerate the global adoption of crypto.”
Currently, Africa is the only continent on the globe that has the least number of exchanges.
A recent study conducted by Crystal, Bitfury’s blockchain analytics platform, shows the UK, U.S., and Singapore are leading in the largest number of registered digital currency exchanges. Africa, on the other hand, has just a few exchanges registered and concentrated in a few countries.
While the Binance Cloud is obviously a product suite previously missing in the market, it will be interesting to see if this new product can be leveraged across the African continent and help grow more exchanges across different jurisdictions on the continent.
