Nigerians traded $32.16m in Bitcoin volume in September. A drastic drop from August’s $44m ATH.
These figures were generated from research that was carried out by Usefultulips.
Usefultulips combined data that was generated from two peer-to-peer exchanges in the country- Paxful and LocalBitcoins so it is expected that the actual trading volume is higher.
The last time that the BTC trading volume was around this level was in February when the trading volume was $31.9m.
Nigeria’s total p2p trading volume for the first nine months of 2021 was $315.76m.
The drastic fall may be a result of BTC losing 10.22% of its market cap in September.
