Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced its collaboration with the confederation of African Football (CAF). While cryptocurrency adoption is gaining popularity globally, the continent of Africa seems to have minor participants in digital assets. Several sports activities such as football and basketball are receiving crypto sponsorships and backing to promote the place of cryptocurrencies worldwide. However, BINANCE remains of the crypto exchange that has been involved in such sponsorships.
