Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a decentralised naming protocol built on Ethereum that maps human-readable names like “yourname.eth” to Ethereum wallet addresses, websites, and other resources. ENS is the governance token of the ENS DAO, giving holders a say in protocol upgrades and treasury decisions. ENS domains eliminate the need to share long cryptographic addresses, making crypto payments simpler and safer. African crypto users familiar with Web3 and DeFi can buy and sell ENS 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.
Ethiopian investors can buy Ethereum Name Service (ENS) using CBE Birr or Telebirr via P2P on Bitget and Bybit. This guide shows you how to go from ETB to ENS safely and quickly.

Is It Safe to Buy Crypto in Africa?
Yes — when using reputable, globally regulated exchanges. To protect yourself:
- Enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) on your Bitget/Bybit account immediately after registering.
- Only trade with verified P2P merchants — look for high completion rates and positive feedback.
- Never share your password, 2FA codes, or seed phrases with anyone.
- Invest only what you can afford to lose — crypto prices are volatile.
- Consider withdrawing to a personal wallet for long-term holdings.
