Sub-Saharan Africa’s Crypto Boom: Third Fastest Growing Region

Sub-Saharan Africa is making significant strides in crypto adoption, becoming the third fastest growing region globally, according to a new report from blockchain data platform Chainalysis. This growth is driven by real-world use cases such as navigating currency devaluation and the lack of robust traditional finance infrastructure prevalent in the region. 205 billion USD was transferred into Sub-Saharan Africa through onchain value between July 2024 and June 2025, marking a 52% increase compared to previous periods. This surge puts the region behind only Asia-Pacific and Latin America in terms of growth.
