Last year Nigeria came out as the number one in Cryptocurrency adoption rate in African by chainalysis from June 2022 to July 2023.
I keep wondering why they will continue to compare Nigeria with other African countries instead of other countries in the world. Nigeria is number 6th globally according to
he report done by the same chainalysist, and that should tell you that no African country come close to Nigeria. According to same report, 10.34% of Nigerians own cryptocurrencies, this number might even be higher than the population of many African countries.
I will like to clarify here that, the recent Exchanges crisis we face will have only a little effect on us here while the CBN restriction on bank transaction relating to cryptocurrency will have no significant effect because this same restriction was already existing by this time last year which did not show as an effect in our cryptocurrency and bitcoin adoption growth and I think this won`t be different either.
Your concerns are valid but the truth is that none of them will be able to change the direction of things as regards to cryptocurrency in Nigeria. The good thing is that the crack down on cryptocurrency was not started by this administration but the previous one and Nigerians have already moved beyond their reach
What is your expectation on this and do you think any country in African will be able compete with Nigeria for the top position this year? though doubt.
The margin for the next release will definitely be wider than what we have seen before because cryptocurrency awareness is spreading like wildfire in Nigeria.
