Cregis Brings Institutional-Grade Crypto Infrastructure to Growing African Markets

Digital asset adoption across Africa is accelerating rapidly, creating both opportunities and challenges for businesses seeking to participate in this evolving financial landscape. To meet this demand, Cregis—an enterprise digital asset infrastructure platform—has announced an expansion into key high-growth markets across the continent.

This strategic move builds on Cregis’s global footprint, which already includes established presences in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America. The timing aligns with a period of significant growth in Africa’s digital asset sector, where Sub-Saharan countries received over $205 billion in on-chain value between July 2024 and June 2025—a remarkable 52% increase year-over-year.

This surge is fueled by rising adoption of stablecoin payments, increasing cross-border transaction volumes, and broader integration of digital financial services into everyday commerce. As Shawn Yan, Founder and CEO of Cregis, noted: “We’ve seen this pattern before—adoption comes first, followed by a need for secure, efficient infrastructure as businesses scale.”

Cregis has already begun onboarding enterprise clients across Africa, including stablecoin payment providers, digital asset exchanges, OTC desks, and digital banks. Their integrated platform offers a comprehensive suite of tools covering the entire digital asset lifecycle—from wallet operations and custody to governance and compliance.

The expansion is particularly focused on Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa, where digital asset ecosystems are among the most developed in Africa. With regulatory frameworks continuing to evolve across major markets, businesses now have greater clarity as they explore institutional-grade solutions for managing digital assets securely and compliantly.

As more African companies seek to integrate digital assets into their operations, Cregis offers a proven framework—backed by experience supporting enterprise clients through similar growth phases in other high-potential regions like Dubai and Latin America—to build robust, future-ready infrastructure that can scale alongside evolving business needs.
