Bitcoin Goes Africa as Strike App Introduces Services to the Continent

Strike, a payments software that focuses on Bitcoin, recently announced its entrance into the African market, a move that was revolutionary for its CEO, Jack Mallers. Mallers unveiled Strike Africa, bringing the platform’s whole array of Bitcoin services to many African countries, in a recent blog post.

Strike is a mobile payment application that has changed the game. It was created by the Chicago-based business Zap. Strike uses blockchain technology, much as Cash App or Venmo, to make money transactions easy. After founding offices in El Salvador and the United States, Strike turned its attention to expanding internationally, aiming to reach more than 65 nations in regions such as the Caribbean, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.

Empowering Financial Inclusion

Strike Africa wants to provide a wide variety of services to enable customers to buy and sell bitcoin (BTC) and Tether’s dollar stablecoin (USDT), access on-ramps and off-ramps for local fiat currencies and make international payments via Bitcoin’s Lightning network. These services meet the demands of people in developing nations with unstable financial systems and high rates of inflation by facilitating quick and affordable transactions.

Demand for stablecoins and bitcoin (BTC) is rising, especially in areas where there is economic uncertainty. Cryptocurrencies provide a practical way to save and send money to countries with high rates of inflation and financial risks, such as Turkey and Argentina. Attack Africa has arrived at a critical moment, giving people access to cutting-edge financial instruments to overcome obstacles and take advantage of possibilities.
