“Our goal is to empower Nigerian businesses to innovate and leverage blockchain for wealth creation opportunities, hence, the institutional services empower fintech leaders with tailored solutions, as the offerings designed to cater for the unique operational needs of institutional clients, enabling businesses to embed trading functionalities like spot and futures markets, wallet management, and more, directly into their platforms.
“The key services include White-label Broker Services, which enable Fintech companies to deploy customized crypto exchanges using Bitget’s infrastructure while managing branding and users independently. There is also API Solutions that can enable the Developers to integrate trading functionality via APIs for spot, margin, and derivatives markets, ensuring fast execution and seamless experiences for end users.”
Bitget’s launch in Nigeria comes as the country continues to see rapid growth in mobile payments and blockchain adoption. In 2024, Nigeria solidified its position as Africa’s leading digital payment economy, processing 7.9 billion real-time transactions.

The company is powered by a team of 1,500 professionals who are passionate about transforming the landscape of digital finance and cryptocurrency trading.
