Wormhole (W) is one of the largest cross-chain messaging protocols enabling assets and data to move between over 30 blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Avalanche.

African DeFi users seeking cross-chain interoperability can buy and sell W on Bitget and Bybit.
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.
