Bitcoin traders in Africa have their feet on the gas pedal, with no intention of slowing down any time soon.
Less than two weeks after registering all-time high, peer-to-peerpeer-to-peer trading volumes at the regional level, Africa has done it again. According to data from analytics site Useful Tulips, BitcoinBitcoin traders in Africa exchanged the equivalent of more than $14 million across P2P platforms, such as LocalBitcoins and Paxful.
[1/2] Africa had ANOTHER record week on global P2P markets. In all, over 13M in USD equivalent was traded across 18 African currencies and this was the first week on record where African volume exceeded Latin American volume on these P2P exchanges.https://t.co/IZzHqwcpRS pic.twitter.com/LbmLac4pfq

Bitcoin reading volume in Africa is currently outpacing local trading in Latin America, a region often referenced when examining regional, peer-to-peer volumes.
This volume was higher than last week's figure for Latin America —a region often taken as a reference in terms of trading volume on p2p and OTC platforms. Just over $11 million worth of Bitcoin was trading through Latin America over the last seven days.
The growth in local trading appears to reflect increased interest in cryptocurrency within the African continent. As Decrypt recently reported, local inflation rates range between 4% to 7% year-on-year, and economic uncertainty stemming from the coronavirus outbreak combined with a widespread economic recession seems to be leading a growing number of African traders to view Bitcoin as a viable store of value
In Latin America, Venezuela is still the leading the Latin American BTC market. Despite having lost almost a million dollars in volume in the last week, its $4.3 million gives it a slight edge over Colombia, which reported $4.1 million in trades during the same period.
But on the other side of the globe, Nigeria saw considerable growth, registering more than $9.3 million in weekly trading volume, 400% more than South Africa, its closest competitor.
Although it is difficult to determine how local traders behave on centralized exchanges, volume on P2P platforms is likely much higher within African countries, according to Useful Tulips founder Matt Ahlborg.
In an interview with the On the Brink podcast, Ahlborg explained that Latin Americans and Africans prefer P2P trading because it reduces commissions and allows for a direct relationship with other customers.
Crypto news outlet Cointelegraph has confirmed that its website was compromised in a front-end exploit used to promote a fraudulent token airdrop and steal from users. It said in a statement on X on Sunday night that it was aware of the “fraudulent pop-up” and was “actively working on a fix”. “Do not click on these pop-ups, connect your wallets [or] enter any personal information,” it warned. Decrypt has approached Cointelegraph for comment. North Korea Targets Crypto Professionals With New Ma...
Texas sheriffs used power tools this week in retrieving $32,000 from a Bitcoin ATM after a Jasper County family said they were scammed out of funds, according to local law enforcement. The family said it had lost $25,000 to the fraudsters. An image shared by the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook shows sparks flying as an official uses what appears to be a circular saw to crack into a Bitcoin Depot kiosk. Other images show stacks of hundred dollar bills, evidence bags, and a gas station...
The price of Bitcoin was little changed on Friday as U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller argued that the U.S. central bank could start lowering interest rates as early as July. Bitcoin was recently changing hands at $104,300, flat over the past day and down 0.6% since Israel and Iran began exchanging missile attacks a week ago, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Ethereum was flat over the past 24 hours to trade just around $2,500, while Solana ticked up slightly. With infl...
