Speaking about this milestone, CZ, CEO of Binance, said:
“Africa is one of the most important continents, representing the future and emergence of DeFi and blockchain capabilities.
We are very excited about the mainnet launch of Xend Finance, with a team we backed early on that has a strong foothold in Africa and have been strong advocates for what Binance Smart Chain can accomplish. With their platform, they are able to bring stable currency and DeFi investment opportunities to those who normally wouldn’t have them.”

Speaking about the DeFi revolution on the African continent in light of the launch, Oguchukwu Aronu, CEO of Xend Finance, said:
“The problem for the citizens of many countries in Africa is that their currency valuations fluctuate wildly, often devaluing greatly compared to other regions.
Through our platform and Binance Smart Chain, people can channel their savings into stable currencies, without worry that their money will devalue overnight, and earn higher interest rates through DeFi. We are very excited that blockchain will have a positive impact on the people of Africa.”

About Xend Finance
Headquartered in Enugu, Nigeria, Xend Finance provides the tools and platform for a decentralized financial credit union, regardless of geographic location and home country currency.
The platform eliminates traditional finance middle men, while earning up to 15% annual percentage yield on member’s savings. Members can earn multiple levels of interests on their savings (in stable currency and $XEND) by seamlessly swapping their crypto or fiat currency to stable cryptocurrencies and staking – the process of locking up your crypto asset to earn yields – on Lending platforms so members can earn compound interest on their money.
Xend Finance is the first African company to build on Binance Smart Chain.
