KuCoin Reports State a Whooping 2500% Increase of Crypto Users in Africa

March 22, 2022 by Goku

Despite socioeconomic obstacles and hurdles, cryptocurrency usage in Africa is rising. Crypto transactions climbed by up to 2,670 percent in 2022, according to a bullish report by cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin.

The steep influx connects to the low values reported in prior times, representing an extraordinary growth tendency. The country accounts for around 2.8 percent of worldwide crypto transaction volumes.

“The adoption of digital assets in Africa will continue to increase rapidly,” Johnny Lyu, CEO of KuCoin. Adding that “African nations have the highest crypto adoption rate globally, exceeding even the largest areas such as the United States, Europe, and Asia.”

The thousand percent growth rates for Bitcoin (BTC) adoption “will continue in coming years,” according to Nourou, the creator of Bitcoin Senegal.

“Look at how quickly automobiles, cellphones, and consumer gadgets spread throughout the continent. Africa is a continent known for its lightning-fast advancement and acceptance.”

Africa moving ahead with crypto

“More than 88.5 percent of bitcoin transactions done by Africans are cross-border transfers,” according to the survey. “Users pay less than 0.01 percent of the whole value of the transaction moved in bitcoins,” according to low costs.

The country has a youthful and digitally native population acclimated to digital currencies, owing to high inflation and rising smartphone penetration, which essentially allows everyone to become their own bank. Africa is an excellent place to test the challenges that cryptocurrencies attempt to tackle.

BTC use is increasing in Central and West Africa, for example, despite suspicion and discomfort with the native currency, the CFA. Cointelegraph has examined the condition of crypto adoption in Africa, saying that “the region’s economic prospects are vast.”

Crypto platforms might be an excellent stepping stone for the general expansion of a country’s GDP if given the proper legal attention and authorities’ understanding of the necessity for such digital technologies.

Snowballing demand and an almost 25-fold growth in user numbers in the previous year demonstrate the population’s preparedness for such changes.

Detachment from antiquated payment systems will help attract investments, cut government expenditure, relieve the administrative load on the banking sector, and develop commercial links with other nations in the age of globalization without jeopardizing citizens’ financial well-being.
