Stellar Lumens (XLM) was specifically designed for cross-border payments and financial inclusion. With near-zero fees and 3-5 second settlement, XLM is one of the best cryptocurrencies for African remittances and trading.
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.
