African Digital Coin<\/a> (ADC) in a few weeks\u2019 time.<\/p>\nThe ADC$ is an Ethereum based coin (ERC20) designed to \u201cConnect the World\u201d with a reliable blockchain-based bank and a blockchain marketplace, that will simplify means of payments, buying, selling and transfer of funds globally.<\/p>\n
The ADC is a token for Africa Digital Bank that can be used for all utility payments and the company\u2019s marketplace.<\/p>\n
Tsopotsa says the Pan-African tokens will promote safe and open interaction in his company\u2019s ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Holders of \u201cour tokens\u201d will get discounts when they purchase on Tsopotsa\u2019s digital market Africa. The ADC makes offers a secure decentralised registry for collection of any products.<\/p>\n
He explains: \u201cWe aim to empower merchants by giving them easy and trusted payment systems based on blockchain technology through our ADC Pay system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Digital Marketplace is where sellers will be able to advertise their goods and services and buyers can make purchases easily by using Africa Digital Coin (ADC$).\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, the businessman says ADC$ is designed as a non-discriminatory bank and marketplace dedicated to help the unbanked, SMEs and entrepreneurs that seek financial services and products at low-cost.<\/p>\n
Tsopotsa said \u201cproper banking is key to financial security in any society. What better way than to give people access to financial product, services and better control over their funds, a new Crypto currency built in a business model as ADCs would be perfect\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 66% African population are unbanked with our financial inclusion policy and low-cost banking environment, implementing a new Crypto currency will reduce the cost for members\/users.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot only making the banking low-cost but with a new Crypto currency, we can better provide services while incentivising our members such as reduced interest rate, cash back, discounts and reward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tsopotsa believes that at least 30% of the current unbanked gain financial inclusion through his platform that he says would help increase and drive economic growth across Africa.<\/p>\n
He also encouraged Africans to embrace the 4th Industrial Revolution by considering using digital and crypto currency.<\/p>\n
\u201cUsing Crypto currency it benefits the users greatly as faster, secure, and safer to transfer of value and does payments from one person to another, payment\/settlement confirms in minutes when doing cross border transaction which normally takes an entire week to wire funds at a lower cost. Bit coin cost less than 0.01% fee to transfer almost $2bln USD as shown on the block chain,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
