MakerDAO (MKR) is the governance token of the Maker protocol, which issues the DAI stablecoin backed by crypto collateral. MKR holders vote on protocol upgrades, collateral types, and risk parameters. African investors can buy and sell MKR on Bitget and Bybit.
Crypto is in a legal grey zone in Ethiopia. The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has not banned it, but has not issued formal regulation either. Millions of Ethiopians access it via P2P. Some ISPs block exchange websites — a VPN resolves this. Use reputable platforms and monitor NBE announcements for any changes.
