The world’s leading crypto exchange by volume has officially launched a direct fiat-to-crypto trading facility. The first pair that exchange has listed includes Nigerian fiat currency naira. The fiat deposit feature is being offered via US-based payment tech firm Flutterwave.

Currently, only Nigerian fiat currency is being accepted as a way to buy (BTC), Binance coin (BNB), and BUSD but earlier Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao “CZ” announced  at the Open innovation conference to include Russian rubles as a way to buy cryptocurrencies on BInance.

According to the official announcement, the maximum deposit per transaction is 430,000 NGN (~1,185), and the minimum deposit per transaction is 150 NGN ($0.41).
