What do you want to do with your crypto in Ethiopia?

Ethiopia has become one of the fastest-rising grassroots crypto markets, with students, freelancers, and everyday earners exploring digital assets out of genuine curiosity. A very large diaspora sends a major flow of value home, and digital rails let that money reach families faster and at lower cost than older transfer routes. Mobile money has spread quickly across the country in recent years, so handling value on a phone is already familiar to a growing share of people. A single wallet that ties holdings to gift cards and mobile top-ups fits naturally into how many Ethiopians are starting to manage money.

Tap what you came for and we'll take you straight there. Every one of these runs from the free Zypto app, so wherever you start, you're one download away.

Spending crypto in Ethiopia, answered

Can I use gift cards bought in Zypto to send value to family abroad from Ethiopia?

Yes. Zypto lets you use eligible assets in your self-custodial wallet to buy gift cards, and many can be sent to people in other countries. Available brands, identity verification, and applicable limits depend on your region, and the amount you receive reflects current rates at the time of purchase.

Which crypto can I use in Ethiopia?

Bitcoin, stablecoins like USDC and USDT, and 100+ assets held in the Zypto wallet. If you need a different asset, you can swap in-app first.

Is Zypto self-custodial?

Yes. You hold your own keys and Zypto never takes custody of your funds. That also means you are responsible for your recovery phrase: if you lose it, Zypto cannot restore access to your wallet.
