Co-founder and CEO at Quidax

About

Buchi Okoro co-founded Quidax after an early personal experience with Bitcoin convinced him that Africa needed safer, simpler ways to access digital assets. Since launching in 2018, Quidax has grown into one of Nigeria's best-known crypto exchanges and became the first crypto exchange to receive provisional licensing from Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission. Okoro has also become part of the industry's wider regulatory conversation, advising policymakers across African markets. His story is particularly fitting for the Borderless 100: a bad experience buying Bitcoin became the motivation to build institutional-grade infrastructure for millions of Africans seeking access to a global financial system.
