Top ten African Countries leading in Cryptocurrency trading today

Cryptocurrency trading has become widespread in Africa today. Many consider the trend to be caused by the increasingly weakening African currencies against other international counterparts, especially Euro, pounds, and dollar. Others believe that the rapid embrace is due to the high rate of unemployment in Africa today.

Notwithstanding the efforts of some African leaders to limit the citizens from indulging in Cryptocurrency trading, especially in Nigeria, the spread of digital currency has been on the increase every day.

Highlights on the top ten African countries leading in Cryptocurrency trading today:

« South Africa: South Africa is renowned today as the country with the most active cryptocurrency traders. The dominance of South Africa in cryptocurrency trading seems to be favored by the tolerant attitude of the government towards cryptocurrency transactions.

This has not in any way deterred the citizens from embracing cryptocurrency trading today.
