Introducing Yele Bademosi, the driving force of cryptocurrency in Africa.

Yele Bademosi abandoned his medical studies to create cryptocurrency tools aimed at underprivileged communities in Africa. Following the downfall of FTX, he redirected Nestcoin to develop user-centric Web3 products such as Onboard and Breach. In the chaotic global crypto landscape, which is frequently influenced by prominent figures from the West or Asia, one Nigerian name has caught attention: Yele Bademosi. Driven by his unwavering commitment to advocating for equitable access to digital economic opportunities for Africans, Yele Bademosi has transitioned from aspiring doctor to a prominent influencer in the African cryptocurrency space, rather than due to mere hype. Yele never originally aspired to be a crypto influencer. Rather, he was working towards a medical degree at King’s College London. However, he realized that the operating room wasn’t the place he envisioned for his future. Amid his hectic routine, he took the initiative to learn design and programming on his own. Indeed, he learned on his own, similar to a person who fiddles with computers late into the night simply out of interest. That marked the beginning of a significant change in his journey. Upon returning to Nigeria, he delved deeply into the realm of technology startups. In 2017, he made a significant impact by establishing Microtraction, an investment firm focused on early-stage funding for African startups, particularly in the tech Web3 sector. However, his most significant achievement was taking on the role of the inaugural director of Binance Labs Africa, with the ambitious goal of promoting blockchain adoption across a continent that is typically seen merely as a market rather than an active participant. Companies associated with him include Bundle, Nestcoin, and Bigger Dreams.
