Nigerian cryptocurrency investors are no longer required to purchase cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin through centralized exchanges.

With the expansion of direct on-ramps with regional banks by leading cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, self-custody cryptocurrency purchases are getting easier in Nigeria.

ConsenSys, the parent company of MetaMask, announced on March 21 a new connection with MoonPay, a cryptocurrency fintech that enables users in Nigeria to buy cryptocurrency through immediate bank transfers.

The new capability, which is accessible through the MetaMask mobile app and Portfolio DApp, makes it a great deal easier to purchase cryptocurrency in Nigeria without using a credit or debit card
