USDT Is Doing More for Africa Than Half the L2s You’re Shilling

No offense to your favorite L2… but let’s be real.

It’s not glamorous. It’s not DeFi-native yield vaults. But it’s working.

And to be honest? Sometimes “just works” > “fully decentralized but unusable.”

Curious how others in emerging markets are seeing this play out too
