Coinbase has partnered with African local stablecoin trading platform Yellow Card to expand its services in Africa as part of its globally compliant development plan. Starting in February, this partnership will enable more than half of the African population to purchase USDC through the Coinbase wallet application. It also allows application users to send stablecoins for free via email and messaging applications such as WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram. Yellow Card users can also purchase USDC on the Base network.
