Cryptocurrencies have been welcomed in Kenya and have continued to gain popularity on a daily basis. In 2021, Kenya occupied the 5th position on the list of top twenty countries that trade crypto. This analysis automatically places Kenya in the first position among African countries using bitcoin. Kenyans who have been trading bitcoin using the Peer-to-Peer mechanisms now have the opportunity to buy and sell crypto on Yellow Card - a cryptocurrency exchange platform that offers fast and secure services at considerably low prices.
Trade Bitcoin in Kenya with Yellow Card
Some months back, buying and selling bitcoin in Kenya through the Yellow Card platform required using Standard bank transfers. This process seemed to have excluded unbanked and underbanked Kenyans. The good news is that henceforth, trading bitcoin has been facilitated with the introduction of Mobile Money services which permit bitcoin users to buy bitcoin using their Mobile Money (MoMo) accounts. Moreover, with the MoMo services, Kenyans can sell their bitcoin and make direct withdrawals in Kenyan Shillings (KES) without going through the stress of having to queue up in banks.
