Crypto in Africa is no longer just hype, it’s real business. While many are still learning how it works, some platforms are already turning digital coins into major profits.

They’re building trust, growing fast, and making crypto easy for everyday users.
 

Here are five African crypto platforms that are absolute goldmines:

— Yellow Card (Nigeria): One of the biggest crypto exchanges on the continent. It lets users buy and sell Bitcoin and USDT in local currencies. Now active in over 20 countries, with $165M+ raised. Fast, easy, and growing fast.

— VALR (South Africa): A top exchange for trading over 60 cryptocurrencies. Known for strong security and clean design. It raised $50M in 2022, a record for African crypto startups. Trusted by beginners and pros alike.

— Paxful (Global/Nigeria): A peer-to-peer platform popular across Nigeria. Users can trade crypto using bank transfers, airtime, and even gift cards. Simple, fast, and widely used by first-time crypto buyers.

— Luno (South Africa): One of the first crypto apps in Africa. Luno is beginner-friendly and offers savings features and instant buys. Backed by Digital Currency Group, it has millions of users in Africa and Asia.
