At the Noones press conference, attended by some of Africa’s top blockchain media, including CoinNewsExtra, the Noones team highlighted cryptocurrency’s potential to drive economic empowerment across the continent. Key figures emphasized blockchain’s role in reshaping financial access for underserved communities and setting a new course for economic self-reliance.
Frisco d’Anconia, the session’s host, opened with remarks on Pan-African unity, setting the stage for Ray Youssef’s powerful call to action. Youssef, the CEO of Noones and a prominent figure in the crypto world, stressed the importance of Africans supporting each other to overcome economic barriers.
“The time is now for Africa to turn the narrative from scarcity to abundance,” he stated, calling for an end to “economic apartheid.”
Nnamdi Udensi, Africa growth director at Noones, elaborated on the platform’s mission to empower the unbanked through P2P crypto trading, enabling affordable cross-border transactions. Noones aims to foster a sustainable financial ecosystem designed to empower Africans at every level, especially those historically excluded from traditional banking.
A critical focus of the press conference was the Noones Academy, an educational initiative aimed at enhancing financial literacy across Africa. As the event concluded, Youssef’s closing remarks emphasized Africa’s potential to lead in technology and finance, urging entrepreneurs to support initiatives that uplift communities. “Africa’s future lies in collaboration and unity,” Youssef said, painting a hopeful vision of an African-led digital economy.
