    “While this means that we aren’t capturing all P2P value, we believe these two exchanges are popular enough for their metrics to act as an overall approximation” announces Chainalysis.

    When it comes to overall adoption of cryptocurrencies by country, Kenya and Nigeria are also at positions 1 and 2 in Africa respectively and are classified 5th and 6th globally. The latest data from Chainalysis exhibits mode of cryptocurrencies globally rose by over 880% last year, primarily steered by marketing’s on peer-to-peer
