The Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN)  has announced that Roqqu ,a fast-growing digital finance and blockchain solutions provider, has joined our network as a Global Corporate Member. This addition marks another important step in our continuous effort to build a vibrant, responsible, and innovation-driven blockchain ecosystem in Nigeria and across Africa.

As an association, SiBAN brings together diverse stakeholders ranging from blockchain startups and developers to investors, educators, and policymakers who share the goal of fostering ethical standards, consumer protection, and sustainable blockchain adoption. The inclusion of Roqqu in this community adds further diversity and depth to our shared mission.

A Shared Commitment to Responsible Innovation

Roqqu’s decision to join SiBAN underscores a shared vision of responsible innovation and industry collaboration. As a Global Corporate Member, Roqqu will participate in industry dialogues, capacity-building programs, and policy engagements coordinated by SiBAN. These initiatives aim to enhance best practices, strengthen public trust, and promote fair opportunities for all stakeholders in the digital asset industry.

SiBAN membership signifies joining a community committed to building a credible, transparent, and innovative blockchain ecosystem in partnership with members, regulators, and stakeholders. It reflects a voluntary pledge to uphold ethical standards, embrace best practices, and work towards compliance and regulatory readiness. While membership does not constitute licensing or regulatory approval, it represents a shared commitment to foster responsible innovation, encourage compliance, align with the association’s ethical code, principles of transparency, and mission to advance the growth of a trusted blockchain industry.

Why Membership Matters

In Nigeria and beyond, blockchain technology is rapidly evolving. This pace of change creates both opportunities and risks for market participants and consumers. Associations like SiBAN play a crucial role in bridging the gap between industry innovation and responsible adoption by providing a platform where:

• Stakeholders can share knowledge and experiences.
• Companies can engage in constructive policy discussions with regulators.
• Communities can learn about safe, responsible participation in the blockchain space.
• Businesses can collaborate on solutions that serve both economic and social development goals.

Roqqu’s membership enhances this ecosystem, bringing in a company with a proven track record of scaling services for millions of users while expanding into new markets.

“We are excited to become part of the SiBAN community. Our goal has always been to make crypto practical and accessible, not just in Nigeria or across Africa, but globally. We look forward to contributing to initiatives that promote blockchain education, foster informed adoption, and encourage constructive engagement with policymakers to help strengthen Nigeria’s blockchain ecosystem.”

Roqqu’s Growth Story & Expansion Beyond Africa

Founded with a mission to make cryptocurrency and digital finance accessible to everyone, Roqqu has seen remarkable growth over the past few years. This growth has been fueled by Roqqu’s focus on providing fast, reliable, and user-friendly services.

In addition to solidifying its position in Nigeria, Roqqu has expanded its footprint into other African markets such as Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. This expansion reflects an understanding of Africa’s diverse but connected financial landscape, where cross-border transactions and remittance solutions are increasingly in demand.

Notably, Roqqu has also made significant strides into the European market. The platform has secured a virtual currency license enabling it to operate in compliance with financial regulations across the European Economic Area (EEA). This license gives Roqqu the legal capacity to provide crypto services to customers in approximately 28 to 30 European countries.

This strategic move positions Roqqu among the few African-born fintech and blockchain companies with a truly international reach, bridging markets between Africa and Europe. It also aligns with the growing trend of African tech companies exporting their innovations to the global stage.

What This Means for the SiBAN Community

For SiBAN, welcoming Roqqu as a Global Corporate Member means gaining an active partner in initiatives that prioritize:

• Capacity Building: Sharing insights and tools to help individuals and organizations understand blockchain’s opportunities and risks.
• Policy Advocacy: Participating in discussions with regulators to craft policies that balance innovation with consumer protection.
• Industry Standards: Promoting operational best practices that protect users and enhance trust in blockchain systems.

Roqqu’s presence in both African and European markets also brings valuable perspectives to SiBAN’s international engagement efforts. By learning from different regulatory and operational contexts, the community can refine strategies that make blockchain adoption both safe and scalable.

SiBAN expressed delight at Roqqu’s entry into its community, noting that the collective strength of the association lay in the diversity and commitment of its members, and that it looked forward to Roqqu’s contributions to the growth of the blockchain ecosystem.

The journey toward a fully credible and sustainable digital asset ecosystem requires collaboration, mutual respect, and continuous learning. In joining SiBAN, Roqqu has committed to walking this path alongside other industry players, contributing to an environment where innovation thrives and the interests of users remain protected.
