The Nigerian cryptocurrency sector is witnessing a significant shift with the Central Bank of Nigeria's approval of the cNGN stablecoin project. Developed by the Africa Stablecoin Consortium, cNGN aims to enrich Nigeria's stablecoin ecosystem alongside the existing eNaira. Analyst Rume Ophi notes the potential high adoption rate of cNGN, given Nigeria's position as a crypto hotspot in Africa. However, skepticism surrounds the compatibility of cNGN with eNaira, as one operates on a public blockchain and the other on a private network. The successful adoption of cNGN, set to launch on February 27, 2024, could mark a substantial move towards Web3 technology in the country.
