Users can now buy and sell Bitcoin on Chipper Cash, a platform that allows you to send and receive money across the African continent. This is a big deal for the company as it would help to popularize crypto on the continent.
The African payment startup has been around since 2017. It was co-founded by Maijid Moujaled and is now present in a number of African countries including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
In June 2020, Chipper Cash raised up to $13.8 Million in Series A funding. As at the time of the raise, the platform boasted of over one and a half million users and over $100 million dollars a month in transaction volume.
The recent inclusion to transact Bitcoin on Chipper Cash seems brilliant. For one, it expands the options of current crypto traders using the platform. On the other hand, it exposes non-crypto traders on the platform to the possibility of trading.
On the Chipper Cash mobile app, you can buy and sell Bitcoin under the “Invest” section. This makes it appear attractive to users. Although there’s a disclaimer on the app that attests to the volatility of the crypto market when a user shows interest.
On the app, users can see a chart that shows the price fluctuations of Bitcoin. This can be customized to show for the previous hour, day, week, month, year, or overall chart.
In this post, we’ll detail out the steps on how to buy and sell Bitcoin on Chipper Cash.
