With over 2.4 million downloads of the ETN app, the company is perceived to be proactive in getting in touch with a lot of people in developing countries.

Their partnership with NGOs in these nations is a capable method of guaranteeing broader use of cryptos.

Furthermore, an Electroneum representative said: 

“By working with NGOs on the ground in developing nations, we are achieving true adoption of a cryptocurrency. We are enabling people and allowing them to join the global digital economy for the very first time.”


How can I buy Electroneum? Electroneum can be bought from several cryptocurrency exchanges like Liquid, and Huobi. Each cryptocurrency exchange offers diverse ways of paying for Electroneum so be sure to check what payment options are offered to you.
