About our Cryptocurrencies news

Latest news on Cryptocurrencies in Nigeria, covering Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, regulations, trading, adoption, blockchain technology and economic impact.

Nigeria has emerged as Africa's cryptocurrency powerhouse, with over 22 million crypto owners nationwide. Despite regulatory challenges, Nigerians have embraced digital currencies as inflation hit 30% in early 2025 and the naira continues to face pressure against major currencies, pushing many citizens towards crypto as a hedge against economic instability.

The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission has recently clarified its stance on cryptocurrency regulations, establishing a framework that recognises digital assets while implementing investor protections. Meanwhile, Nigeria's eNaira, Africa's first central bank digital currency launched in 2021, has struggled to gain widespread adoption despite government initiatives to increase its usage among the unbanked population.

Community-driven crypto education initiatives are flourishing across Nigeria's major cities, with tech hubs in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt hosting regular workshops. The recent "Blockchain Nigeria" conference in February 2025 attracted over 5,000 attendees, highlighting the growing interest in cryptocurrency careers, particularly among Nigeria's young population seeking alternatives to traditional employment.

Nigeria's relationship with cryptocurrencies began around 2015, gaining momentum during the 2017 bull market. Despite a 2021 banking ban that was later modified, Nigeria's crypto trading volume has consistently ranked among the highest globally for peer-to-peer platforms, demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of regulatory uncertainty and reflecting Nigerians' entrepreneurial spirit.

Our NewsNow feed on Cryptocurrencies in Nigeria is updated constantly with the most relevant headlines from reliable sources, ensuring you stay informed about this rapidly evolving landscape. Whether you're an investor, blockchain enthusiast, or business owner exploring crypto opportunities, this feed provides comprehensive, timely coverage of all developments shaping Nigeria's cryptocurrency ecosystem.
