Nigeria
Bitcoin Countries
Nigeria consistently ranks among the top countries globally for Bitcoin peer-to-peer trading volume. With a population of over 200 million experiencing currency devaluation and limited banking access, Nigerians use Bitcoin extensively for remittances, savings, and commerce. Despite regulatory challenges, including the CBN ban on crypto banking in 2021 (later revised), Bitcoin usage continued to grow through P2P platforms.
