Nigeria already ran this playbook in 2024: Binance removed the naira reference, but the parallel market kept repricing USD liquidity anyway. For regulators, that tradeoff is brutal: less visible P2P data, more opaque brokers, and the same dollar demand leaking out through stablecoins that already make up 43% of African crypto transfer volume.
