From side hustles to scaling startups, many Nigerians are turning to crypto as a faster, more reliable way to move money, hedge against currency volatility, or settle cross-border transactions. But there’s one element that underpins the success of this shift — liquidity.

Without institutionalised access to crypto-to-cash conversion, the promise of digital assets falls flat. That’s where platforms like Divest are stepping in to close the gap.

At Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 by Techpoint Africa, Divest is one of the fintech exhibitors, showcasing how it enables instant, seamless crypto liquidity for individuals and businesses across Nigeria.

To learn more about their offerings and what they are bringing to Lagos Startup Expo 2.0, we spoke with Prince Nwokocha, Head of Operations at Divest. With a strong background in systems management and operational strategy, Prince ensures the Divest engine runs smoothly across infrastructure, customer service, compliance, and performance.

Divest is a fintech platform that allows individuals and businesses to instantly buy or sell cryptocurrency like USDT, BTC, and ETH using local currency, primarily Naira (NGN), serving both retail (B2C) and institutional (B2B) users. 

Divest is the ultimate cash point for crypto holders, and the go-to crypto liquidity provider for those holding cash 

Beyond retail, Divest supplies bulk USDT to fintechs and businesses for international settlements and foreign exchange (FX) needs at highly competitive rates. We offer dedicated support that enables businesses to buy or sell large volumes of USDT to meet their operational demands. 

We’re at Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 to connect with the next generation of fintech leaders, partners, and innovators. Nigeria is rapidly becoming a global fintech hub, and this expo offers a unique opportunity to showcase how Divest is fuelling that growth with seamless USDT infrastructure. We’re here to educate, connect, and collaborate — because we believe in building with the builders. For us, this isn’t just about visibility; it’s about being part of the conversations shaping Africa’s financial future. 

We’re making it interactive and insightful. Visitors can expect:
