Blockchain.com has expanded its operations to Ghana as part of a broader strategy to strengthen its presence in African digital asset markets. The company said the move follows strong growth in Nigeria, where its brokerage business recorded more than 700% growth in transaction volume since launching retail services in the country last year.
The firm noted that Ghana had already shown meaningful organic adoption before the official launch. Over the past year, active users from the country increased by about 140%, while transaction volumes rose roughly 80%. According to the company, popular assets among regional users include Bitcoin, Tether’s USDT, and Tron’s TRX.
The expansion reflects growing institutional and corporate interest in African digital asset markets, particularly in areas such as cross-border payments and remittances. Blockchain.com said it plans to continue building regional infrastructure, hire local talent, and develop products tailored to local financial needs. The company recently obtained regulatory approval in the United Kingdom and a MiCA license in the European Union, part of a broader global growth strategy that could include a potential public listing in the United States.
