Whilst Nigeria has multiple apps at its disposal which facilitate buying and storing cryptocurrencies, one app in particular saw its user base grow in early 2021. Luno already was the biggest cryptocurrency app in the African country, but still saw growth of 15,000 daily active users (DAU) between December 2020 and January 2021. Another noticeable development is how little growth was observed among all apps during this timeframe: the DAU of cryptocurrency apps United States grew much faster during this same time period. According to a consumer comparison in 55 different countries worldwide consumers from Nigeria were the most likely to say they either owned or used a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin.

The figures provided cover DAU figures for both Android as well iOS.
