A major crackdown across Africa recently recovered $260 million in illegal crypto and fiat assets—quite a wake-up call for the region. Tether has stepped up by partnering with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime to tackle this. With digital asset scams accelerating across the continent, the question everyone's asking: can blockchain itself become the shield that protects people? The irony is hard to miss—using the same technology that enabled these schemes as the defense mechanism. Worth thinking about.
