Crypto in Africa — Buy, Convert & Track
Africa-first crypto data: how to buy in each country, live dollar rates (official and P2P), and prices in local currency. Source-stamped, not financial advice.
Across much of Africa, people buy and move crypto through peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms using dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT, funded by local bank transfers or mobile money. Because official dollars can be scarce, the real (P2P) exchange rate often differs from the official one — which is why TLT tracks both. Pick your country below for a step-by-step buying guide and the live rate.
