No-KYC Crypto Trading in Ethiopia: What Actually Works (2026)

21 platforms sign a trader in Ethiopia up with an email, an X account or a wallet, and none of them asks for identity documents before the first trade. A fiat on-ramp still verifies identity, so the document step moves to the on-ramp.

A fiat on-ramp in Ethiopia asks for identity documents before it sells stablecoins; the venue itself may never ask.
