Ready to convert your Ripple (XRP) into Nigerian Naira (NGN)? This step-by-step guide shows you how to sell XRP in Nigeria using Bitget or Bybit — two exchanges with active P2P markets that pay directly to your bank or mobile money.
P2P crypto trading is widely practised in Nigeria and is not explicitly banned for individuals. The CBN restricts banks from processing crypto transactions — that is why P2P via OPay, PalmPay, and Kuda exists. Millions of Nigerians use it daily. As with any financial activity, use reputable platforms and stay updated on CBN guidance.
