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.
Kenya’s high mobile money adoption makes buying STEPN (GMT) one of the smoothest crypto experiences in Africa. M-Pesa is accepted by P2P sellers on both Bitget and Bybit, so converting KES to GMT is fast and familiar. Here’s the step-by-step process.

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.
