Crypto platform Jeroid marked its 8th anniversary with The Jeriversary — a vibrant evening of dance and magical performances, a panel session with industry crypto experts, reflection, and forward-looking vision.
The event attracted the Special Assistant to the President on Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Mr. Ayo Adeagbo and Jeroid’s newest brand ambassador and popular music star Zlatan Ibile.
CEO Jeremiah Mayowa recounted Jeroid’s journey from a little beginnings to having over 250,000 monthly trades on the Jeroid platform.
He decalled Jeroid’s journey from a small apartment in 2017 to becoming the first Nigerian crypto exchange to earn ISO certification in 2024, with recertification in 2025.
Key milestones included launching its Lagos HQ and first app version in 2021, national expansion in 2022, and the 2023 release of Version 2, which added utility bill payments and Personalized Wallets.
“Our mission has always been clear: to build a secure, user-friendly platform for exchanging digital assets,” Mayowa said. “We are only getting started.”

Guests enjoyed a lively panel session and cultural performances, celebrating not just Jeroid’s growth, but also the resilience of Nigeria’s youth — the driving force behind its success.
“Compliance and regulation are one of the main hindrances to crypto adoption in Nigeria,” Hassan Eniola, COO of Jeroid, said during the panel session, lamenting the lack of concrete government policy in the crypto industry and the recent spike in crypto scams.
Overall, the event proved to be a fitting reminder that Jeroid is not just a tech company but a cultural movement. A movement that, in Mayowa’s words, believes “Africa does not need to play catch-up. We can lead, we can innovate, and we can set the standard.”
