Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is a fork of Bitcoin created in 2017 to enable faster, cheaper transactions. While Bitcoin can cost $5-50 per transaction, BCH fees are typically under $0.01, making it practical for everyday payments. BCH uses the same proof-of-work mining as Bitcoin but with larger block sizes for higher throughput. It is listed on all major exchanges and widely accepted. African crypto users can buy and sell BCH on Bitget and Bybit with local payment methods.
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.
To sell Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and receive Ethiopian Birr, spot-sell BCH to USDT on Bitget or Bybit, then P2P sell USDT to ETB via CBE Birr or Telebirr. Here’s the full step-by-step process.
How to Sell Bitcoin Cash in Ethiopia — Step by Step
- Log in to Bitget or Bybit where your BCH is held.
