Quidax
Connecting Africa to the global crypto economy via instant swaps, order-book liquidity, and developer APIs
What it does
Quidax was founded in 2018 by Buchi Okoro and Uzo Awili to build an easy-to-use cryptocurrency exchange geared towards the African market. The exchange allows users to buy, sell, and store digital assets, and offers order-book API integrations for institutional liquidity. Notably, it became one of the first exchanges granted an In-Principle crypto license by Nigeria's SEC.
