Brazilian audience taken aback as Cardano withdraws CBCA program in Portuguese!
Cardano Expands Global Blockchain Education with Portuguese Course
Cardano, the popular cryptocurrency platform, has recently launched its CBCA blockchain certification course in Portuguese, targeting Brazil's large and rapidly growing crypto market. The Portuguese launch aims to educate Brazil’s tech-savvy population with free, credible blockchain certification, formalizing previous training efforts like the one with Petrobras employees.
Looking ahead, Cardano plans to expand the CBCA course into other languages, including Hindi and Swahili, which would increase its global reach into key emerging markets. These future language rollouts indicate a strategic effort to onboard new developers and users worldwide, leveraging Cardano’s academic approach to blockchain education.
Brazil's Crypto Market and Cardano's Initiative
Brazil transacted more than 7 billion crypto volumes in 2023, according to CryptoSlate, making it a significant player in the global crypto market. With a 30% growth in crypto volume last year, the Portuguese launch of the CBCA course is seen as a major step in Cardano's global education initiative, with the course serving as a gateway for blockchain knowledge without language barriers, thus enabling more inclusive participation in the Cardano ecosystem.
Expanding into Emerging Markets
The planned rollouts in Hindi and Swahili could similarly impact high-potential markets in Asia and Africa by increasing accessibility to blockchain skills and certification. India, with its large and growing crypto community, is a prime target for the Hindi version, while East Africa's growing blockchain interest makes Swahili a strategic choice.
| Language | Current Status | Target Market / Impact | Notes | |----------|---------------------|--------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| | Portuguese | Launched (August 2025) | Brazil — strong crypto adoption, large population | $7B crypto volume, 30% growth in 2024, prior Petrobras training[1][2] | | Hindi | Planned | India — large emerging crypto community | Potential major expansion in South Asia[1][2] | | Swahili | Planned | East Africa — growing blockchain interest | Expanding into African markets[1][2] | | Spanish | Mentioned but unclear status | Likely Latin America broadly | No definitive rollout date yet |
The Need for Job Connections
While the CBCA program emphasizes decentralization in blockchain education and offers free learning and certification, it is crucial for Cardano to introduce real-world projects and job connections to bridge the gap between education and employment. An MIT study reveals that only 15% of those with blockchain certifications secure jobs after certification.
Competition in the Blockchain Education Sector
The competition in the blockchain education sector is ongoing, with Cardano competing against established platforms like Coursera and Udemy. However, with the projected market for verified crypto credentials reaching $9.39 billion by 2033, there is ample opportunity for growth and expansion in this space.
