One of the leading African digital asset exchanges, KoinKoin, has announced significant expansion plans as its annual OTC transaction revenues surpass $40 million.
The company, founded by London-based entrepreneur Ola Atose, makes it easier for customers to buy, sell and transfer digital assets across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Western Europe.
As part of its expansion plans, KoinKoin intends to double the headcount of its 15 full time staff members across the company’s offices in Nigeria and Ghana and bolster its C-suite team which is operating out of London.
Additionally, the company announced plans to make new growth hires in its key operating countries of Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Antigua and Barbuda.
Currently, the KoinKoin development team is putting the finishing touches on a revolutionary and innovative new app for its users. The platform will compete with Blockchain.com and Coinbase with superior customer-focused features and offer unmatched value and access to top-tier crypto assets.
The move will form part of KoinKoin’s wider strategy to begin competing in the retail space and making a bigger impact for retail consumer needs.
