Neutral
As Senegal dey push for digital transformation with BOAD support dey mean say dem wan develop digital services and maintain regional control, e no too get direct effect for cryptocurrency market. Development banks and digital project partnerships no really fit make price waka quick for big tokens. For short term, traders no go likely change how dem dey trade based on public sector digitization funding for West Africa. Long term, if people begin use digital IDs and blockchain services more, e fit help build infrastructure wey go support crypto integration, but e be slow slow process. Overall, the news good for tech growth for the region but e neutral for market volatility.
