Algorand (ALGO) is a carbon-negative, ultra-fast blockchain created by a MIT professor. With its focus on financial inclusion and 4-second finality, Algorand has significant adoption in Africa and emerging markets.
Crypto is in a legal grey zone in Ethiopia. The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has not banned it, but has not issued formal regulation either. Millions of Ethiopians access it via P2P.
