financial plans.

challenge for individuals seeking financial stability and growth. Nigerian users, amidst fluctuating
exchange rates, express a growing desire to safeguard their savings in more stable foreign currencies

and convenience required to facilitate seamless currency diversification, leaving users exposed to the
risks associated with the depreciation of the local currency.
