Binance has continued its global expansion. Just recently, it also announced that it added support to Nigerian Naira on its peer-to-peer (P2P) platform. Prior to that, Binance P2P has added support for Russian Ruble (RUB) and Vietnam Dong (VND).
“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 […] We strive to provide the easiest cryptocurrency access and best trading services 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,” said Binance CEO Changpen “CZ” Zhao.
