For instance, on-chain cryptocurrency activity in Africa has risen from 67 percent in October 2019 to 78 percent in 2020, indicating an unprecedented surge in cryptocurrency adoption across the continent.
According to Naijacrypto CEO, the fast-growing cryptocurrency adoption in the continent was one of the reasons that encouraged the company to launch the new app
Iwu said: “We felt that this was the right time to build and launch a new app, we have increasingly more daily users on the platform, creating greater ease-of-use for our users is needful at present”.
In recent months, Africa has continued to create enabling environment for cryptocurrency adoption even when regulatory frameworks for investments remain scanty.
It would be recalled that in February 2021, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) issued a circular prohibiting financial institutions in the country from facilitating cryptocurrency payments.
Despite the monetary policy directive, indications showed that cryptocurrency adoption appears to be gaining momentum as many see the use and exchange of cryptos as promising in terms of returns.
