Africa has witnessed a large amount of growth in its adoption of bitcoin, despite having one of the lowest levels of internet penetration in the world. Between June 2020 and July 2021, Africa saw a 1200% increase in adoption, per the release.
Additionally, Nigeria was highly ranked in the 2021 Global Crypto Adoption Index from Chainalysis. Togo followed Nigeria by being one of the top countries in peer-to-peer transference of value.
