President Trump has made cryptocurrency and blockchain very cool. Tekedia Capital is massively investing in the infrastructure aspect of this sector in Africa. In Nigeria, we recently invested in 100Pay which builds infrastructures for crypto. It does not do buying and selling with hodling spirit. Rather, it builds tools for the digital capital era.
“We bring together everything that’s required to build websites and apps that accept crypto payments and send payouts globally. 100pay’s platforms power crypto payments for online and in-person retailers, subscriptions businesses, software platforms and marketplaces, and everything in between.”
For example, it has a partnership with Visa which makes it easier to link any crypto wallet to a Visa card, enabling you to spend your crypto in local currency like Naira without a need to first sell coin like Bitcoin, ETH, etc:

Now, it is going around campuses to task young people to BUILD and not just consume on its 100Pay Build Campus Tour. Build a business in Nigeria and add a payment API to receive payments in BTC, ETH, etc: “Accept 22+ Cryptocurrencies on your website and mobile apps.” Provided it is PRODUCTION, and not Consumption, Tekedia Capital will be available. Wishing the really young CEO, Brainy Josh, good luck on this mission.
*I do not do hodling cryptos, but I do support crypto techs including blockchain. Today, we have Africa’s largest layer 1 blockchain via Egochain from Egoras. With 100Pay, we want to play a productive role in digital capital in Africa.
