MakerDAO (MKR) is the governance token of the Maker protocol, which issues the DAI stablecoin backed by crypto collateral. MKR holders vote on protocol upgrades, collateral types, and risk parameters. African investors can buy and sell MKR on Bitget and Bybit.
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.
