Cregis has officially announced its expansion into Africa, marking the digital asset infrastructure platform’s latest milestone in its global growth strategy. The strategic move builds on established rollouts across the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East, and Latin America as worldwide demand for secure enterprise crypto infrastructure accelerates.
Africa stands out as one of the fastest-growing digital asset markets globally. According to data from Chainalysis, Sub-Saharan Africa received more than $205 billion in on-chain value between July 2024 and June 2025, representing a 52% year-over-year increase. This rapid growth has been heavily propelled by stablecoin payments, cross-border transactions, and expanding digital financial services, alongside increasingly clear regulatory frameworks across major markets.
“We’ve seen this pattern before,” said Shawn Yan, Founder and CEO of Cregis. “Adoption comes first. As businesses grow, the focus shifts to operating digital assets securely, efficiently and in a way that can keep pace with evolving regulatory expectations. That’s where enterprise infrastructure becomes essential, and it’s the same transition we’re beginning to see across Africa.”
Targeting High-Growth Regional Markets
Cregis has already successfully onboarded enterprise customers within the region, scaling local business development efforts with a primary focus on key hubs where digital asset ecosystems are most mature: Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa. The company is actively partnering with regional stablecoin payment providers, over-the-counter (OTC) desks, crypto exchanges, and digital banks.
To support these scaling enterprises, Cregis offers a unified platform designed to manage the complete lifecycle of digital assets:
- Core Product Suite: Includes Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS), Payment Engines, TronGas, and Crypto Off-Ramp solutions. Additional industry solutions are detailed at Cregis Features.
- Security & Compliance: Maintains a zero-security-incident record backed by internationally recognized standards such as SOC 2 Type I, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001, with compliance protocols further outlined by Cregis Enterprise Security.
- Unified Management: Integrates wallet operations, fund flow orchestration, treasury governance, and compliance into a single dashboard. Technical specifications and documentation can be explored via Cregis Platform Overview.
The African expansion draws on nearly a decade of operational experience in high-growth emerging markets. After building a robust presence across Asia-Pacific, Cregis established a Middle East hub in Dubai in 2024—supporting over 200 long-term enterprise deployments—before expanding into Europe and Latin America earlier this year. Global deployments and structural updates are frequently updated on the Cregis Official Portal.
Looking forward, Cregis plans to deepen its footprint across Africa through direct customer engagement, strategic local partnerships, and participation in premier industry events such as the Blockchain Africa Conference and Blockfest Africa.
“Our goal isn’t simply to bring technology into the region — it’s to help local businesses build digital asset operations that can grow with confidence over the next decade,” Yan added.
