Powering the Digital Asset Transformation in Nigeria and Beyond

If you’ve read the Chainalysis 2022 Global Crypto Adoption Index you might have noticed that Nigeria has been rapidly climbing the charts when it comes to grass roots adoption of Cryptocurrency. 

In this episode, Ian Andrews (Chief Marketing Officer, Chainalysis) is joined by co-founders, Michael Adeyeri (CEO) and Moyo Sodipo (Chief Product Officer) of Busha, one of the fastest growing digital asset platforms in Africa. They go in depth about the challenges Nigerians have in accessing currencies like the dollar and euro and how cryptocurrency and stablecoins enable an alternative international payment solution. 

The co-founders describe the current crypto regulatory landscape in Nigeria and explain why adoption in the country is far from just speculation and how remittances and facilitating business operations is top priority for many Nigerians.
