    CoinCola Launches its P2P Bitcoin Exchange Platform In Nigeria

    Hong-Kong based cryptocurrency marketplace, CoinCola, has extended its cryptocurrency exchange services to Nigeria, offering a fast and secure trading service to users.

    Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology are growing rapidly in the world and many people are starting to key into it. Startups are raising funds through Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and companies are beginning to accept cryptocurrencies for good and services. Even in Nigeria, despite appropriate legislation not put in place, cryptocurrency trading is gaining ground.

    But there seems to be slow adoption of this technology on the African continent. Hence, CoinCola’s aim to provide trustworthy trading and exchange services to all its users all around the world, with Africa being a key place of interest.

    “We believe that Blockchain technology will be essential to providing secure banking and payment services in the future and also that cryptocurrency will greatly improve the convenience of daily transactions and help to create a world that is financially borderless. Hence, our mission is to connect everyone to this new digital asset economy.”

    CoinCola.

    An over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency marketplace and exchange platform, CoinCola offers users secure trading services at competitive fees and exchange rates.

    Users can buy bitcoins with giftcards

    Using its app based platform, users can buy and sell cryptocurrencies with their local currencies via the CoinCola OTC marketplace. These includes Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Dash (DASH), Tether (USDT) and Ripple (XRP). This purchase or sale, is done on a person-to-person (P2P) basis.

    Users can also post adverts for free and are only charged a trading fee of 0.7% of the traded amount once the transaction has been completed. This is fair price when compared to other competitors like Paxful that charges 1%.

    CoinCola also offers an exchange market. The platform allows users to exchange Bitcoin (BTC) and Tether (USDT) through crypto-to-crypto trading pairs, to Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC).

    For this, a trading fee of 0.2% of the exchanged sum is charged. However, there is a fixed withdrawal fee.

    A new feauture which allows users buy Bitcoin with gift cards has also been added. So users in Nigeria, Ghana and everywhere else in Africa can use the various gift cards to buy Bitcoin.

    For many people, managing money and knowing the ri For many people, managing money and knowing the right opportunities to invest in is still a challenge. A survey of over 2,000 youths in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Cote D’Ivoire by Geopoll revealed that more young Nigerians only save after spending than their counterparts in other countries.

More youths in Tanzania and Uganda set aside a fixed amount to save than in Nigeria and Ivory Coast, who are more likely to save what remains after spending

The popularity of apps like @Piggybankng and @Cowrywise has made more people curious about saving, investing and creating a financial strategy to grow their money. However, there is need for more apps that take a more deliberate and friendly approach towards gaining financial intelligence and map out a sustainable path to monetary stability.

This is where Fundall comes in. @get_Fundall is a fintech service whose app is available for download on android and iOS.

    Things are gradually returning to normal as the nu Things are gradually returning to normal as the number of covid-19 cases continues to fall. Although it may take a while before we hug people or shake hands without second thoughts, things are getting better.

Only 523 new cases were recorded between April 6 and 13. This is a slight increase compared to the 497 people that tested positive over the previous week. Two weeks earlier, Technext reported that 584 people tested positive.

The numbers show a sustained decrease in the spread of infections across the country. Indeed the Lagos state government is now confident enough to allow event centres and relaxation centres to increase their crowd capacity. Along with that, here are other developments during the week.

    Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously ma Today, @Google unveils a Doodle to posthumously mark the 74th birthday of Nigerian music legend and highlife maestro Oliver de Coque, one of Africa’s most prolific recording artists of all time.

The Doodle, created by Lagos-based graphic artist and illustrator @OhabTBJ, pays tribute to the guitarist who died in June 2008 at the age of 61, following a heart attack. The creative inspiration was drawn from De Coque’s love for the guitar, his energetic performance style, his unique music brand, and his love of tradition and culture.

According to NIBSS Instant Payment stats, the state recorded the largest number of PoS transactions in the country.

The report shows that Lagos accounted for about 70% of the total volume of PoS transactions in 2020. This represents a 100% growth in the volume of PoS transactions in the state as the volume of PoS transactions rose from 226 million in 2019 to over 453 million at the end of 2020.
