Binance Adds Nigerian Naira as Its First African Currency for P2P Trading

Binance, the leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the launch of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading services for the Nigerian Naira (NGN), providing an open platform for users to trade cryptocurrencies using NGN with zero transaction fees on Binance.com or Binance mobile app. 

NGN is the first African fiat currency supported on Binance P2P platform. “We believe that Africa is a blockchain continent. We no longer need to bank the unbanked. We can empower them with cryptocurrency financial services directly. Nigeria is a vibrant innovation hub with great passion for cryptocurrencies,“ said Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance. “We strive to provide the easiest cryptocurrency access and best trading service for the African community, and P2P trading is a more flexible approach, giving users the freedom to choose their payment methods and counterparty in a trade.“ 

The NGN integration allows users in Nigeria to directly buy and sell BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB and BUSD with other users and verified merchants on Binance P2P platform. Users can select the trades listed on P2P platform by the amount and payment methods, and access instant and secure trades with Binance’s crypto escrow service and 24x7 customer support. 

“We are also providing a unique opportunity for users to become P2P Merchants where they can post trade ads and earn money, estimated to be worth a few thousand dollars USD per month, while providing cryptocurrency access for their communities,“ said CZ. 

Users who have a reliable source of fiat and cryptocurrencies can apply now to join the program. See tutorials here to learn about P2P trading and start a trade on Binance.com or the Binance mobile app today.
