Machankura has launched a new USSD code – *920*8333# – to facilitate Bitcoin transactions for feature phone users in Ghana, West Africa.
This innovative move is expected to revolutionize the way people in Ghana transact in cryptocurrencies, especially in remote areas where access to the internet is limited.
The USSD code operates through the Lightning Network, a layer two scaling solution for Bitcoin that allows for faster and cheaper transactions. This means that feature phone users can now send and receive Bitcoin (BTC) without needing access to the internet or a smartphone. Transactions on the Lightning Network are also highly secure, making them ideal for small transactions and micropayments.
In the last few months, Machankura’s usership has increased by 10x in Africa.
