- Blockchain.com has officially launched its crypto brokerage services in Ghana.
- The company reported over 700% growth in brokerage transaction volume in Nigeria in the past year.
- Blockchain.com reports 140% user growth and 80% transaction volume rise in Ghana.
Crypto brokerage firm Blockchain.com has officially expanded its operations into Ghana as part of a broader strategy to grow its presence across Africa. The move follows strong growth in Nigeria, which has become one of the firm’s fastest-growing markets globally.
Blockchain.com said the expansion will give Ghanaian users access to a secure and compliant platform for buying, selling, and storing digital assets.
The firm has also established local compliance representation and started discussions with regulators to support the development of a domestic crypto framework.
Mobile money integration is also a priority for the company due to the widespread use of mobile payments in the country.
Nigeria’s Growth Drives Regional Expansion
Blockchain.com’s expansion into Ghana comes after strong performance in Nigeria, where the firm launched retail services early last year.
The company established an operational base in Lagos and hired local teams to manage operations, partnerships, and regulatory engagement.
Since the launch, brokerage transaction volume in Nigeria has grown more than 700%, according to figures released by the company. The most traded assets on the platform in the country include USDT, Bitcoin, and TRX.
Nigeria remains one of the most active crypto markets globally. According to Chainalysis data, the country consistently ranks among the top crypto-adopting nations and leads Sub-Saharan Africa in grassroots adoption.
The region recorded more than $205 billion in on-chain crypto value between July 2024 and June 2025, representing a 52% increase from the previous year. Nigeria alone accounted for more than $92 billion of that activity.
Ghana Shows Strong Organic Demand
Before the official launch, Blockchain.com was already seeing rising demand from Ghana.
The company reported a 140% increase in active users from the country over the past year. Transaction volumes from Ghana also rose by around 80% during the same period.
The firm said this organic growth signaled strong demand for regulated access to digital assets in the local market.
Blockchain.com plans to replicate the operational model it built in Nigeria by hiring local teams in Ghana to manage partnerships, regulatory engagement, and business development.
