## In Short
- A report published August 17, 2026 says Breet has processed more than $1 billion in transaction volume.
- The report says Breet has completed over 5 million transactions and is profitable.
- No funding round was announced, the company is described as self-funded.

## What Happened
[Breet](/breet), a Nigerian crypto fintech focused on crypto to cash conversion, has passed $1 billion in processed volume, according to a new report published on August 17, 2026.

Crypto to cash conversion is often called an offramp. It means turning digital assets into local currency that can land in a bank account or mobile money wallet.

The report says Breet is nearing 500,000 users across Nigeria and Ghana. It also says the company has processed more than 5 million transactions and has grown about 300 percent over the past two years.

Breet was founded by Kayode Faturoti and Usman Balogun. The company positions itself as a safer alternative to manual peer to peer trading, where buyers and sellers transact directly and can face fraud risk.

The report also highlights Breet’s move into B2B infrastructure. Breet recently launched a business API, which is a set of tools that lets other companies plug crypto payments and instant settlement into their own apps without building wallets, monitoring transactions on chain, or handling compliance checks themselves.

## Why It Matters
Breet’s numbers stand out in a market where many fintech headlines are tied to venture capital rounds. A profitable, self-funded crypto payments business suggests there is still room for sustainable growth in African fintech, especially in high demand areas like stablecoin and remittance flows.

The B2B API push could also expand Breet’s role beyond a consumer app. If more merchants and platforms adopt crypto checkout with automatic conversion to naira or cedis, Breet becomes part of the payments infrastructure layer, not just a trading onramp or offramp.

For operators and investors tracking the /categories/crypto-web3 shift, the takeaway is simple. Demand is moving toward easier settlement, better compliance, and fewer manual steps, and products that make crypto feel like normal payments can capture that demand.
