The CEO of Yellow Card, Chris Maurice, believes that the emergence of a crypto-friendly government in the United States will prompt African regulators to establish rules for the sector. He states that the shift in attitude from regulators and traditional banks in the US gives confidence for the future of crypto in Africa. Maurice's comments come after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at enhancing digital asset innovation and blockchain technology, and the US Securities and Exchange Commission announced the launch of a cryptocurrency task force. The change in America’s approach to crypto is expected to influence African regulators, who often wait for the US to unveil regulations before creating their own. Maurice also expressed hope that his platform will receive approval to operate in Nigeria.
