Blockchain.com Expands into Ghana with 700% Nigerian Growth
Blockchain.com has launched brokerage operations in Ghana, following significant growth in Nigeria where transaction volumes have risen by over 700% since the company began retail services there early last year. The London-headquartered firm now operates across more than 70 jurisdictions and plans to continue expanding into additional African markets.
The company cited organic demand from Ghana before its formal launch, with active users from the country increasing by 140% over the past year and transaction volumes rising by 80% on its platform. In Nigeria, the most-traded assets were USDT, Bitcoin (BTC), and TRX.
Blockchain.com has established local compliance representation in Ghana and is discussing a domestic cryptocurrency framework with regulators. Mobile money integration is a priority, given the widespread use of mobile payment systems across the country.
