"...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..."

While maintaining that people's funds are still safe on the Binance platform, he said there was no need to continue to trade with the platform as they have now proven unreliable.

@emperoryrn offers 2 P2P trading alternatives

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.

"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."

The platform stressed its shared goal of protecting users while promoting innovations. It also reassured users of its continued strict security protocol regardless of the products or services used on the Binance app.
