Why Tanzania’s crypto is growing fast

Tanzania runs on mobile money: M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Mixx by Yas and Airtel Money, with NIDA national-ID verification. DeFi wallet adoption jumped 6.8× in a year. The Bank of Tanzania has long been cautious and there is no dedicated crypto law yet, but adoption keeps climbing on cheap mobile payments.
