Quidax CEO Buchi Okoro calls for global-local partnerships to unlock Africa’s crypto potential at Consensus 2025.
At Consensus 2025, Buchi Okoro, CEO of Nigerian exchange Quidax, made a passionate appeal for global collaboration with Africa’s crypto innovators. Highlighting his own journey, he argued that in Africa, crypto isn’t just finance—it’s freedom.
“Crypto is not hype; it is hope… Join us to build the future of Africa,” Okoro told the audience.
He stressed that digital assets offer an escape from inflation, costly remittances, and financial exclusion—making Africa a natural home for Satoshi’s vision.

• Nigeria ranked #2 worldwide in crypto adoption in 2024.
• Countries like Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Africa are also surging in usage.
Yet, despite rising adoption, SSA accounts for just 2.7% of global crypto volume, signaling a gap between enthusiasm and infrastructure.
Okoro’s Call
To bridge this gap, Okoro called on global firms to invest, partner with local builders, and co-create tailored solutions for African users—turning crypto from a buzzword into a lifeline for millions.
