Cryptos will soon be legal in Nigeria
Nigeria is one of the largest Bitcoin markets in the world. However, the CBN banned banks and other financial institutions from providing services to cryptocurrency companies and investors. However, the CBN governor said they might soon reverse the decision as the central bank is working hard to ensure people don’t use cryptocurrencies to finance illicit activities.The CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele revealed this while speaking at the 279th meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee in Abuja. Emefiele said he is confident cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin will be legal in Nigeria again. He didn’t give a timeline for reversing its ban but said the central bank has been investigating the sector. “We are committed in the CBN, and I can assure everybody that digital currency will come to life even in Nigeria [...] Under cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, Nigeria comes 2nd, while on the global side of the economy, Nigeria comes 27th. We are still conducting our investigation, and we will make our data available,” the governor said.
Nigeria was the second-largest Bitcoin market in the world, behind the United States. However, this changed following the CBN’s ban in February. Emefiele explained that the central bank issued the ban to prevent crypto from being used to finance illegal activities. “We found out that a substantial percentage of our people are getting involved in cryptocurrency, which is not the best. Don’t get me wrong, some may be legitimate, but most are illegitimate,” he added.
The governor previously said Nigerians are free to trade cryptocurrencies. However, the banks are not allowed to provide services to crypto entities.
Nigerians remain active in the cryptocurrency space
The adoption of cryptocurrencies in Nigeria continued despite the CBN banning financial institutions from providing services to crypto companies. Nigerians turned to peer-to-peer platforms like Paxful and LocalBitcoins. The introduction of the P2P feature on Binance also helped Nigerians enter the cryptocurrency market. According to Paxful, Nigeria’s crypto traded volume on its platform surpassed $1.5 billion in the first four months of the year. According to Paxful, Nigeria is ranked second only to the US in trading volume.Nigerians have turned to cryptocurrencies to preserve their wealth due to the massive inflation that has affected the economy in recent years. The Naira has been devalued multiple times over the past few years, and residents believe the CBN would do it again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
