Filecoin (FIL) is the leading decentralized storage network, allowing users to rent out or buy storage space globally. FIL is listed on both Bitget and Bybit and is accessible to African traders via P2P.
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.
