dogwifhat (WIF) is the largest meme coin on Solana, featuring the iconic image of a Shiba Inu wearing a knitted hat. Launched in November 2023, WIF rapidly became one of the top meme coins by market cap, surpassing $4 billion at its 2024 peak. It trades on all major global exchanges and is a favourite among Solana-native meme coin traders. African meme coin investors can buy and sell WIF on Bitget and Bybit with local currency.
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.
