Blockchain.com is expanding into Ghana after a successful debut in Nigeria. The firm runs a crypto exchange and brokerage services for retail and institutional clients. It recorded 700% growth in Nigeria. “Our growth in Nigeria over the past year has demonstrated the immense potential for digital assets across the African region.”
Africa’s crypto activity surged by 52% in 2025, reaching over $205 billion in on-chain value. It is currently ranked third globally in crypto adoption after APAC and Latin America. South Africa’s robust institutional activity is due to an advanced regulatory framework for digital assets, which has allowed regional banks to explore crypto-related offerings. At the asset level, Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum are the top-traded assets, with Nigeria, Kenya and Rwanda pushing for regulatory clarity to unlock their local crypto sectors.
Regulatory clarity is also progressing in several countries, and industry observers expect such developments to further boost broader crypto adoption across the region. Blockchain.com’s Ghana expansion signals continued momentum as Africa’s crypto activity grows and demand remains robust across the continent.
