Crypto brokerage Blockchain.com is expanding into Ghana after reporting rapid trading growth in Nigeria, highlighting rising demand for digital asset services across West Africa.
The London-headquartered company said it plans to offer Ghanaian users access to its trading platform as part of a broader push to build infrastructure and expand into additional African markets.
“We are actively collaborating with Ghanaian officials and regulators to help build a regulatory framework and have already established local compliance representation in Ghana,”
A Blockchain.com spokesperson said.
The move follows strong momentum in Nigeria, where the firm launched retail operations last year and reported more than a 700% increase in brokerage transaction volume, with the most traded assets including Bitcoin, Tether and Tron.
Blockchain.com also reported rising activity in Ghana ahead of the launch, with active users increasing 140% and transaction volumes climbing 80% over the past year, signalling growing interest in digital assets in the country.
The company said integrating with Ghana’s widely used mobile money ecosystem will be a key focus as it develops payment infrastructure and builds local partnerships.
Data from Chainalysis shows Sub-Saharan Africa received more than $205 billion in onchain crypto value between July 2024 and June 2025, a 52% annual increase, making it one of the fastest-growing crypto regions globally.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $69,183.66.
