Filecoin (FIL) is the leading decentralized storage network, allowing users to rent out or buy storage space globally. FIL is listed on both Bitget and Bybit and is accessible to African traders via P2P.
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.
