Roqqu is a Nigerian cryptocurrency startup building blockchain-related technology through digital products.

Roqqu is a Nigerian-born cryptocurrency startup empowering Africans to access global finance through digital currency. Since launching in 2019, Roqqu has built one of the continent’s most intuitive crypto platforms—offering secure trading, cross-border payments, and savings features tailored to local needs.

Operating across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and the European Economic Area (EEA), Roqqu is among the few African exchanges with a European virtual currency license, giving users compliant access to crypto in 28 EU countries.

With over 5 million users, Roqqu leads with a mobile-first approach, zero external funding, and a bold vision: to make Web3 accessible to every African. Its 2025 acquisition of Flitaa, a Kenya-based crypto firm, marked the continent’s first public intra-African crypto M&A, unlocking new opportunities across East Africa.
