As one of Africa's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, VALR is building the infrastructure for faster, more accessible and borderless financial services across the continent. In this conversation, Farzam explores the evolution of Africa's crypto ecosystem, Kenya's emerging regulatory landscape, and how blockchain technology is enabling low-cost cross-border transactions at scale.
