GMT is the governance token of STEPN, the move-to-earn app that rewards users with crypto for walking, jogging, and running outdoors. STEPN became one of the most downloaded apps in Africa during its 2022 boom, with Nigerian, Kenyan, and South African users among its largest communities. GMT holders can participate in governance, burn GST (the in-app earning token), and access exclusive STEPN features. African fitness enthusiasts and crypto investors can buy and sell GMT on Bitget and Bybit with local currencies.
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 STEPN (GMT) and receive Ethiopian Birr, spot-sell GMT 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 STEPN in Ethiopia — Step by Step
- Log in to Bitget or Bybit where your GMT is held.
- Spot sell GMT → USDT — Spot Trading → GMT/USDT → market or limit sell. Instant. Fee: 0.1%.
