- Binance and OKX are facing regulatory hurdles in Nigeria.
- OKX has announced its exit from the Nigerian market.
- The crypto boom in Nigeria was fueled by a young population and limited access to traditional financial services.
The regulatory hurdles and stifling of local crypto startups in Nigeria are negatively impacting the crypto industry in the country.
