Binance has announced the simultaneous launch of three key educational initiatives to educate Indian investors and students about cryptocurrency and the blockchain ecosystem.
One of Binance’s three educational initiatives, aimed primarily at Indian students, involves the launch of the “Blockchain for Good” ideathon, a platform for college students to come up with solutions to make cryptocurrency more accessible and inclusive.
While acknowledging the importance of investors’ understanding of crypto and blockchain, Binance noted that Indian regulators and policymakers cite a lack of education as a source of concern, which is currently impeding the widespread adoption of crypto.
Binance has also teamed up with Indian crypto influencers and educators such as Neha Nagar, Aditya Saini, and Kashif Raza to host a free webinar titled Crypto for All on May 1.
Binance’s Learn and Earn programme enables users to earn cryptocurrency while learning about the cryptocurrency and blockchain ecosystem.
The exchange has also partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), one of India’s top tier universities, as a title sponsor for its cultural fest Rendezvous.
Coinbase Ventures held an in-person pitching event in Bangalore, India, in early April, with plans to invest $1 million in various Indian cryptocurrencies and Web3 initiatives.
