Is it legal to buy XRP in Nigeria?

How XRP gains are taxed in Nigeria
Crypto-specific capital gains treatment is still being formalised through Finance Act amendments — treat any specific rate you see elsewhere as provisional until confirmed with a local tax adviser.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Register. Go to the Bitget official site and create an account.
Step 2: Verify ID. BVN (Bank Verification Number) is typically required alongside standard ID for licensed platforms.
Step 3: Deposit NGN. Go to the “Wallet” section and select “Deposit”. Choose Bank transfer for the lowest fees.
Step 4: Trade. Search for the pair XRP/NGN (or XRP/USDT) and click “Buy”.
