Ripple’s Senior Executive Officer Bullish on Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, Cardano Dominating Africa‬

Ripple’s head of coverage for the Middle East, Africa, Turkey, and Central Asia reckons that the world’s most sophisticated digital-asset markets are not in New York, London, or Singapore, but across Africa. With 54 countries and more than 1.5 billion people building financial rails from the ground up, the continent is becoming a growth engine for cryptos like Bitcoin , Ethereum , XRP , Solana , Cardano , and DOGE , driven by utility rather than speculation. Ripple’s Reece Merrick revealed that Sub-Saharan Africa recorded $205 billion in on-chain value over the 12 months through June 2025, a 52% increase from the prior year and the third-fastest growth rate among regions globally. Nigeria alone contributed $92 billion, while four African nations now rank in the global top 20 for crypto adoption, up from two the year before. Stablecoin volumes surged 180% year-on-year, underscoring accelerating real-world use. Traditional cross-border transfers are expensive and slow. Sending $200 to the region still incurs an average fee of 8.9%. Digital assets slash that expense dramatically and settle in seconds, addressing everyday issues with inflation, foreign-exchange shortages, and financial exclusion. That said, South Africa has introduced a licensed crypto-asset service provider regime and issued a rand-backed stablecoin. Nigeria has lifted its banking ban on crypto, passed legislation recognizing digital assets as securities, and begun accepting applications from virtual asset service providers. Kenya’s VASP bill cleared parliament in October and is now in active consultation for implementing rules. Retail-sized transfers under $10,000 make up a larger share of activity in sub-Saharan Africa than the global average, highlighting genuine inclusion over institutional flows. Moreover, Nigeria and South Africa also show rising business-to-business use, particularly stablecoin settlements linking Africa with the Middle East and Asia. Bitcoin dominates local purchases, accounting for 89% of buys in Nigeria and 74% in South Africa, serving as both a hedge and an entry point in volatile fiat environments. South African banks, including Absa, are now moving from pilot projects to live crypto product development.
