CoinCola is a cryptocurrency trading marketplace for peer-to-peer and exchange trading. It combines a peer-to-peer market, where users buy and sell crypto with local payment methods under escrow, with a spot and margin exchange and gift card trading. The platform focuses in particular on markets in Africa.

On the P2P market, buyers and sellers trade directly through bank transfers, mobile wallets, and other local methods, while CoinCola holds the crypto in escrow until payment is confirmed. The spot exchange offers crypto pairs with margin trading, and users can redeem or sell gift cards from global brands for crypto. Identity verification and real-time transaction monitoring are part of its compliance controls.

Other offerings include CoinCola Express for sending money to Nigeria with bitcoin, a third-party instant buy service, and an institutional OTC desk for Nigerian businesses converting naira into stablecoins.
