Nigerian based exchange, Bitfxt made history in the early hours of the new month by becoming the first Nigerian project to get listed on coinmarketcap.com.
In an exclusive interview with BlockNewsAfrica, Paul Ezeafulukwe, Advisor at Bitfxt and SIBAN President. He described the addition as a big feat that will help boost the adoption of the project.
He said:
Listing on coinmarketcap is indeeed a big feat, it is a step in the right direction to boost user base, expand the market opportunities onboard more users on its platform. Bitfxt has done well for itself, Nigeria and the African blockchain ecosystem. It’s now a herculean task to get any project listed on coinmarketcap due to increased scrutiny and hurdles that projects must scale before being listed and for bitfxt to do so, it is a sign of greater things to come from them.

The local bitcoin trading platform has gained a lot of popularity and momentum in Nigerian cryptocurrency circles recently. The brand markets itself as fast, secure and reliable. Bitfxt allows trading in other cryptocurrencies including Steem, Link, EOS, Dash and Ethereum.
Also speaking to BlockNewsAfrica, Franklin Peters, Founder, and CEO of Bitfxt hinted that more announcements are set to follow their addition on coinmarketcap.

We at bitfxt are very particular about keeping the standards high and we will not stop working until our voice is heard in the global blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem. Moving forward, We still have more exciting news but we will dish them out one at a time.
