THORChain (RUNE) is a decentralized cross-chain liquidity protocol that enables native asset swaps across blockchains without wrapped tokens. RUNE is the native settlement asset that powers all liquidity pools on THORChain. African traders can access RUNE 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.
