The success of Bitsika after sealing the deal is likely behind Davido’s growing interest in establishing a Bitcoin trading company. The deal has significantly aided the firm’s expansion. The trading platform reportedly processed relatively $40 million worth of transactions in 2020.
Moreover, Nigeria is the largest Bitcoin market in Africa and one of the biggest in the world. Due to the failing economy caused by the devaluation of the country’s national currency Naira, there has been an increase in demand for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a hedge.
