加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生认为，Solana 是一个高性能的区块链网络，有可能成为非洲金融科技增长和加密货币采用的变革者。

在最近的一次社交媒体帖子中，Mahama 总统强调了非洲大陆金融包容性的重要性，并指出 Solana 的低交易成本是推动加密货币支付和投资的关键因素。

他表示：“金融包容性不仅仅是加纳的需求，它是整个非洲的必需品。凭借其低交易成本，Solana 可能是推动非洲大陆金融科技增长和实现加密货币支付及投资的关键。”

Solana 是一个为快速和可扩展的去中心化应用而设计的区块链平台。与经常面临高费用和缓慢交易速度的传统区块链如比特币和以太坊不同，Solana 提供闪电般的处理时间和显著降低的成本，使其成为金融服务和支付的吸引人的选择。

该网络的独特历史证明（PoH）共识机制允许每秒处理数千笔交易，将其定位为非洲金融科技解决方案的可行替代品。

Mahama 总统对 Solana 的支持与他对于非洲数字革命的更广泛愿景相一致。

在一段附带的视频中，他强调了技术如何帮助非洲越过传统的发展障碍。他说：“第四次工业革命为非洲提供了一个跨越传统发展模式的黄金机会。我们不需要回头去重新发明轮子。数字化转型可以推动金融包容性，改善公共服务交付，并为所有人创造新的机会。”

Mahama 总统进一步呼吁投资于互联网扩展、数字基础设施、金融科技以及研发，以弥合数字鸿沟，使非洲更具竞争力。

他的评论正值加纳中央银行努力监管该国加密货币市场之际。去年 8 月，加纳银行（BoG）发布了旨在正式监管数字资产的法规草案。

这些拟议的指南包括对虚拟资产服务提供商（VASPs）的注册要求、反洗钱合规措施以及加强消费者保护的内部控制。此外，加纳银行正在推进自己的中央银行数字货币发展，即 eCedi，该货币于 2021 年首次宣布，作为加纳数字金融创新推动的一部分。

然而，当局也继续警告加密货币的波动性，敦促投资者注意价格的剧烈波动。

Mahama 总统的评论标志着以区块链技术作为非洲经济转型工具的兴趣日益增长。

President Mahama Identifies Solana Cryptocurrency as Key to Africa’s Fintech Growth

Ghana’s President, John Dramani Mahama, has identified Solana, a high-performance blockchain network, as a potential game-changer for fintech growth and cryptocurrency adoption across Africa.

In a recent social media post, Mahama stressed the importance of financial inclusion across the continent and pointed to Solana’s low transaction costs as a key driver for enabling cryptocurrency payments and investments. 

He stated, "Financial inclusion isn't just a need for Ghana—it's essential for all of Africa. With its low transaction costs, #Solana could be the key to driving fintech growth and enabling cryptocurrency payments & investments across the continent."

Solana is a blockchain platform designed for fast and scalable decentralised applications. Unlike traditional blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, which often struggle with high fees and slow transaction speeds, Solana offers lightning-fast processing times and significantly lower costs, making it an attractive option for financial services and payments. 

The network’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) consensus mechanism allows for thousands of transactions per second, positioning it as a viable alternative for African fintech solutions.

Mahama’s endorsement of Solana aligns with his broader vision for Africa’s digital revolution. 

Speaking in an accompanying video, he highlighted how technology can help Africa bypass traditional development hurdles. He said, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution presents a golden opportunity for Africa to leapfrog traditional development models. We don't need to go back to inventing the wheel. Digital transformation can drive financial inclusion, improve public service delivery, and create new opportunities for all our people."

He further called for investments in internet expansion, digital infrastructure, fintech, and research and development to bridge the digital divide and make Africa more competitive. 

His comments come at a time when Ghana’s central bank is working to regulate the country’s cryptocurrency market. In August last year, the Bank of Ghana (BoG) issued draft regulations aimed at formalising oversight for digital assets.

These proposed guidelines include registration requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), anti-money laundering compliance measures, and stronger internal controls for consumer protection. Additionally, the BoG is pursuing its own central bank digital currency, the eCedi, which was first announced in 2021 as part of Ghana’s digital finance innovation push. 

Authorities, however, continue to caution against the volatility of cryptocurrencies, urging investors to be mindful of sharp price fluctuations.

Mahama’s remarks signal growing interest in blockchain technology as a tool for economic transformation in Africa.
