How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Nigeria

Buying cryptocurrency in Nigeria

Buying cryptocurrency in Nigeria In Nigeria, the amount of cryptocurrency trading is higher than almost anywhere else in the world, Success stories have led many Nigerians to consider digital currencies. An online survey, conducted by the Statista data platform in 2020, revealed that 32% of Nigerian participants used cryptocurrency, the highest amount worldwide. Of the top 10 countries for trading volumes, estimates revealed that Nigeria ranked third in 2020, having generated over $400m worth in transactions. Even though Nigeria has managed to get out of another recession, the economic climate remains turbulent. All this serves to make alternative sources of income and alternative currencies more appealing. However, Nigeria�s central bank recently issued a statement, emphasizing the need to protect the public from possible threats like these unregulated entities that can be used for illegal activities. Many Nigerians had their bank accounts frozen because of cryptocurrency-related activities, and have since then resorted to peer-to-peer transactions.
