ACEX poised to change African narrative
African Consolidated Exchange (ACEX) has expressed their readiness to change the African narrative by revolutionalising the economic outlook of Ghana and Africa.
ACEX is a platform that is the first of its kind in Africa to allow patrons trade the various forms of cryptocurrencies on a single platform.
Speaking at the launch at the International Leadership Institute, East Legon-Accra, the Country Representative, John Amihere, said the story of Africa had been told wrongly and it behove Africans to help retell the true story.
Against this backdrop, he said they believed education coupled with adequate regulation in the forex and crypto space could change things for the better.
He noted that their offers opportunity for those who recommend brokers, and also create opportunity in venture capital which partners credit unions as well as savings and loans with the aim of injecting capital into their businesses.
Mr. Amihere said this initiative which is already existent in Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and other African countries aimed at building the financial muscles of smaller businesses.
With this across other African countries it is their conviction that the unfortunate global payment challenges across the African continent would be resolved.
He added that Bank of Ghana’s resolve to pilot digital currency would go a long way to change the perception about crypto trading.
Mr. Amihere further urged Africans to embrace and enact laws to regulate crypto trading because it is the future.
