Blockchain.com Joins the Race for Africa’s Digital Future

Blockchain.com is making a bold move into Africa, kicking off with a physical office in Nigeria by Q2 2025—the first by a foreign crypto firm in the country. With plans to expand into Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, the UK-based crypto platform is capitalizing on Africa’s evolving regulatory environment. Nigeria’s recent legal reforms, including mandatory licensing for foreign firms, signal a shift toward clarity and legitimacy in the digital asset space, encouraging firms like Blockchain.com. Given rivals like Coinbase and Opera are also deepening their African presence, Blockchain.com’s entry could contribute to the acceleration of innovation and regulatory momentum across the continent. With Africa’s crypto market projected to hit $2.9 billion in 2025, the competition intensifies—and Blockchain.com is staking an early claim.
