Why is USDC more expensive in naira than the official rate suggests?
Local crypto exchanges price USDC in naira from local supply and demand. When dollars are scarce at the official rate, buyers pay more naira, so the local price runs above dollar price × CBN rate. The premium shrinks when FX is easier to get.
Is it legal to buy USD Coin in Nigeria?
Yes. The CBN lifted its 2021 restriction on banks serving crypto firms in December 2023, and the SEC now licenses digital asset exchanges under the Investments and Securities Act 2025. Use a licensed exchange and keep records for tax.
