In this episode, Chris Maurice, co-founder and CEO of pan-African crypto platform Yellow Card, joined us to talk about his background, the business, and the state of crypto adoption in Africa. The company's goal is to provide a seamless on and off ramp to anyone in Africa. We also discuss:

• Yellow Card's recently announced fundraise

• The diversity in culture, language, history, and economy across the 54 countries in the region and why Yellow Card is on a pan-African journey

• The popular use cases for crypto in the region, including as a savings and transaction tool for individuals and businesses
