"...The naira has officially been removed from the Binance P2P market. This means you can no longer sell your USDT or BTC via P2P on the Binance app because them don remove the naira comot for the Binance app entirely..."

The young man said there are other reliable cryptocurrency exchange platforms for P2P trading. He advised Nigerians to move their digital assets to Bybit and Kucoin platforms.

CoinDCX defined P2P, peer-to-peer trading, as a decentralised method that allows individuals to buy and sell digital assets directly with one another.

Ajuwon Aanuoluwapo, an expert trader, who spoke with Legit.ng, wondered what exactly would make the naira strong against the US dollar and blamed the fall of the naira for people panic-selling dollars.

"Whenever there's a government policy, there's always a retracement, but the dump doesn't happen for long.

"Also, the naira has been depreciating against the dollar for years. Normally, the government should have total control of FX but everybody got involved more with platforms like Binance. We don't know how effective the latest govt measure would be.

"No light, there's nothing, what exactly would make the naira strong? The temporary spikes/drops on naira/dollar are connected with people panic-selling whenever any measures came out in the past."
