Is Binance Available in Nigeria?

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is now available in Nigeria. The Malta-based company announced the launch of its services in the country on Wednesday.

The exchange will allow Nigerian users to trade cryptocurrencies on its platform with Nigerian Naira (NGN). Binance had earlier announced its plans to expand into Africa with the launch of a fiat-to-crypto exchange in Uganda in October.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said that the company is committed to furthering its expansion into Africa. “With the launch of our fiat-to-crypto exchange in Nigeria, we are one step closer to our goal of providing easy and convenient crypto trading services to users in Africa,” he said.

NOTE: WARNING: Binance is not currently available in Nigeria. Please be aware that using Binance in Nigeria could violate applicable laws and regulations and may lead to suspension of your account. We strongly advise against using Binance in Nigeria or any other country or region where it is not available.

Binance had also launched a $1 million fund to support blockchain and cryptocurrency startUPS in Africa earlier this year. The fund is part of the company’s wider $10 million investment pledge to the continent.

With the launch of its services in Nigeria, Binance becomes one of the few cryptocurrency exchanges to offer fiat-to-crypto trading in Africa. The others include Luno, which operates in South Africa and Nigeria, and Golix, which has a presence in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Uganda.

The availability of Binance’s services in Nigeria is good news for the country’s crypto community as it will provide them with another option for buying and selling digital assets. It will also likely lead to more adoption of cryptocurrencies in the country as people learn about them through the popular exchange platform.
