Cryptocurrency news, guides and market updates

Crypto moves fast. One morning a coin spikes, the next regulators announce new rules, and your feed fills with FOMO. This tag page collects all our cryptocurrency coverage so you can find straight facts, quick market notes, and practical how-tos without the hype.

We focus on stories that matter to readers across Africa and beyond: Bitcoin price shifts that affect remittances, local exchanges launching new services, policy changes from governments, and major global events that ripple into African markets. You’ll also find simple explainers for wallets, taxes, and safety — stuff you can use right now.

Quick market tips

Want to follow prices without getting overwhelmed? Pick one reliable price tracker and check it twice a day instead of refreshing every minute. Use limit orders when buying on an exchange to avoid paying sudden spikes. If you hold long-term, store your private keys in a hardware wallet and keep a secure backup phrase offline. Treat crypto like digital cash: assume transactions are final and verify addresses before you send.

Beware of scams that promise guaranteed returns or private Telegram groups selling insider tips. Scammers use urgency and unfamiliar links to steal funds. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Verify projects by checking on-chain activity, reputable audits, and community feedback on established forums.

How we cover crypto

We report breaking news — exchange outages, major hacks, legal rulings — and explain why they matter for everyday users. Expect concise market summaries, face-value reporting on regulation, and practical guides like how to set up a wallet, move funds across borders, or declare crypto income for taxes. When a story affects African users specifically, we highlight local implications: payment options, on-ramps, and consumer protections.

Looking for deeper context? We publish explainers on blockchain basics and clear primers on topics like stablecoins, DeFi, and NFTs. These are written so anyone can understand them, whether you’re a first-time buyer or you trade occasionally. We avoid buzzwords and focus on steps you can take today.

Crypto can offer faster payments and new investment choices, but it comes with real risks. Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and keep your recovery phrase offline.
