Binance Cryptocurrency Exchange adds support for the Nigerian Naira (NGN) on Binance P2P (peer-to-peer) platform as part of its ongoing fiat-to-crypto expansion. This is a big competition for leading peer-to-peer platforms like Paxful.

Starting from March 4, Binance P2P users can trade major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), ETH using NGN with zero transaction fees.
Binance P2P users in Nigeria can now post trade adverts for any trades through the P2P Merchants.

“We are also providing an unique opportunity for users to become P2P Merchants where they can post trade ads and earn money, estimated to be a few thousand dollars USD equivalent per month, while providing cryptocurrency access for their communities.”
