Ethiopia’s crypto adoption is rising. Most users access exchanges using USDT purchased via P2P with ETB.

⚖️ Legal Status in Ethiopia

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.
