- Airtel Money – A mobile digital wallet and payments service providing a variety of mobile money services both across Africa and internationally
- MTN Mobile Money – An app and USSD-based mobile money service particularly popular among crypto traders in Ghana, and available in several countries

In an exclusive with BitcoinKE, Michael Foster, CEO, LocalCryptos, said:
“In 2020, we’re focusing more on growing our African communities, specifically in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and Zimbabwe. Africa is on the road to becoming a major blockchain hub, with many governments and communities embracing the technology.
We want to ramp up our efforts in onboarding the world to the next generation of finance.”
With many global P2P exchanges offering more on and off-ramp crypto options, including Paxful, the race for crypto adoption and usage in Africa is likely going to continue heating up.
