Key Traits
Analysis
Africa's largest economy with the continent's deepest crypto adoption, driven by currency instability and a young, mobile-first population.
## Key dynamics (2025-2026)
- **Crypto**: #2 globally on Chainalysis adoption index. P2P Bitcoin and USDT trading is a survival mechanism as naira lost 70% of value since 2023. Binance P2P dominates despite regulatory friction. - **eNaira**: Launched Oct 2021 as Africa's first CBDC. Adoption disappointing (<2% of adults) due to distrust and lack of merchant integration. CBN pivoting to wholesale use cases. - **Economy**: Oil accounts for 90%+ of export revenue but only 6% of GDP. Fuel subsidy removal in 2023 caused social unrest. Lagos tech ecosystem ($5B+ VC since 2020) is the bright spot. - **Security**: Boko Haram, banditry in the northwest, separatist movements in the southeast. Security spending crowds out development.
