Blockchain and Cryptocurrency in Africa: Are International and Home-Grown Brands Getting Ready?

Even though Africa seems like a late bloomer when it comes to the adoption of cryptocurrencies, the continent is widely converted to mobile money, representing over 50 percent of the world’s mobile money services.

For instance, a Google search trend shows that the region with the highest interest in the term  “bitcoin” is Africa and particularly Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa—even though this interest is predominantly limited to trading activities on exchanges.

Brenda Kahari, founder and partner of the firm B.W. Kahari, has been a lawyer specializing in intellectual property (IP) and commercial transactions in Harare, Zimbabwe for more than 30 years. Thanks to her deep knowledge of the economic, social and, of course, legal dynamics in Africa, she gives us keys to understand cryptocurrencies and the applications of blockchain in this continent, as well as discusses the legal and IP challenges and opportunities they represent.
