Is AI Stealing Crypto's Spotlight? Why Bitcoin's Next Bull Run May Depend on More Than Hype

Over the past decade, Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market became the preferred destination for investors looking for explosive returns. Stories of early investors turning a few thousand dollars into millions attracted retail traders, hedge funds, and institutions alike.

Today, however, the investment landscape is changing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become the world's hottest investment theme. From chip manufacturers to AI software companies and robotics startups, capital is flowing rapidly into the sector. This has raised an important question among investors:


Is money leaving crypto for AI?

While the answer isn't as simple as "yes" or "no," there are signs that AI is becoming the new growth story that once belonged to cryptocurrencies.

Crypto Is No Longer the Only High-Growth Bet

Lagos, Nigeria — Flutterwave has announced a major partnership with Xoom, PayPal's international money transfer service, to enable seamless transfers directly into Nigerian bank accounts. The collaboration marks another milestone in improving cross-border payments for millions of Nigerians receiving money from family, friends, employers, and business partners abroad.

The announcement was made by Flutterwave Founder and CEO, Olugbenga "GB" Agboola, who described the partnership as another step toward building the financial infrastructure that connects Africa to the global economy.

A Boost for Nigeria's Remittance Ecosystem
According to Agboola, whenever someone sends money to Nigeria through Xoom, there is now a strong possibility that Flutterwave's payment infrastructure is powering the transfer behind the scenes.

The partnership comes at a crucial time. Nigeria remains the largest recipient of remittances in Sub-Saharan Africa, receiving more than $20 billion in remittance inflows during 2024. These funds play a significant role in supporting households, education, healthcare, investments, and small businesses across the country.

Despite the volume of incoming transfers, the remittance experience has often been affected by fragmented payment systems, settlement delays, and operational complexities. Flutterwave says its infrastructure aims to simplify this process by providing reliable local payout capabilities for Xoom customers.

For many young Nigerians, starting a business is not always the biggest challenge. The real struggle is funding. Across the country, thousands of young people have strong business ideas, skills, and the motivation to build something meaningful, but they simply do not have the capital to get started.

Banks often require collateral, strong credit histories, and financial records that many young entrepreneurs do not yet have. Because of this, government-backed funding programmes have become one of the most important opportunities for young Nigerians who want to start or expand a business.

In 2026, one of the initiatives receiving a lot of attention is the Youth Economic Intervention and De-Radicalisation Programme, widely known as YEIDEP. The Federal Government recently announced the start of another registration phase of the programme, giving millions of Nigerian youths another opportunity to apply for startup support.

The programme is part of a broader effort by the government to address youth unemployment and help young Nigerians become economically productive through entrepreneurship and skills development.

Understanding how YEIDEP works, and how it fits into the wider system of government funding programmes, can help entrepreneurs prepare properly and increase their chances of benefiting from such initiatives.

Why Government Funding Programs Exist

Access to finance has always been one of the biggest barriers for small businesses in Nigeria. While commercial banks provide loans, they are often cautious about lending to new businesses because of the risk involved.

From the bank’s perspective, a startup without financial history or collateral can be a risky investment. As a result, many small entrepreneurs are unable to secure the funds they need to grow their businesses.

Government funding programmes are designed to bridge this gap. Instead of focusing only on profit, these initiatives aim to promote economic development, job creation, and financial inclusion.

By supporting small businesses, the government hopes to stimulate productivity, strengthen local industries, and reduce unemployment across the country.

This is why programmes like YEIDEP, along with funding initiatives from institutions like the Bank of Industry and agricultural support programmes under NIRSAL, continue to play a major role in Nigeria’s economic development strategy.

Anticipation is building as Lagos prepares to welcome the world's premier electric powerboat championship back to Nigeria.

Last year marked a defining moment in African sporting history. Lagos became the first African city to host the groundbreaking E1 Series, the world's first all-electric powerboat racing championship. It was more than just a sporting event—it was a powerful statement that Africa is ready to lead conversations around innovation, clean technology, and environmental sustainability.

The spectacular event captured global attention, with breathtaking races across Lagos' waterways showcasing cutting-edge technology against one of Africa's most vibrant city skylines.

A Bigger African Story
The journey has grown even larger.

What began with Lagos has expanded across the continent. With the addition of the E1 Rwanda Grand Prix to the championship calendar, Africa is becoming an increasingly important destination for the future of electric marine motorsport.

Rather than being represented by a single race, the continent now plays a growing role in shaping the future of sustainable racing.

Now, the championship returns to where Africa's story began.

On October 3–4, 2026, Lagos will once again welcome elite teams, world-class athletes, celebrities, innovators, and thousands of fans for another unforgettable weekend of competition.

For many small and medium business owners in Nigeria, turning an idea into reality is one of the hardest financial journeys you’ll ever make.

You’ve probably felt the struggle yourself,money that should be working for your business lies idle because getting a loan from a commercial bank feels impossible. Banks want collateral you don’t have, documentation you can’t afford, or interest rates that kill your profit margins.

Luckily, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) runs intervention funds designed to give SMEs a lifeline loans at lower interest rates, with long repayment windows, and sometimes even without traditional collateral. But despite the good intentions, many entrepreneurs still don’t know how to access these funds, how realistic they are, or what to watch out.

Why CBN Intervention Funds Matter in 2026

Small and medium enterprises form the backbone of Nigeria’s economy. They generate employment, stimulate local markets, create value, and keep money moving in communities. Yet, despite this potential, formal credit remains hard to access.

In fact, for years, MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) in Nigeria have received only a small fraction of the total intervention financing available with just about 6.6% of a ₦10 trillion CBN intervention programme going to smaller businesses over a decade.

That is jaw-dropping. While the CBN has multiple intervention schemes, the proportion that actually reaches SMEs has historically been low. And even when funds are available, many businesses struggle to access them.

This situation has not changed overnight, but with formal support from agencies like SMEDAN and the Federal Government pushing for improved access in 2026, there is more opportunity than before, if you know how to navigate the system.

Investing in publicly quoted securities is one of the most accessible ways for individuals to participate in the growth of businesses and governments while building personal wealth over time. Yet for many, the capital market still feels complex or “not for people like me.” This guide breaks it down in simple terms, what these securities are, the main types you can invest in, and how to get started in Nigeria.

Investing isn’t just about “buying shares and hoping for the best.” At its core, it’s about intentionally putting your money into financial assets that can grow your wealth or generate steady income over time. One of the most common ways to do this is by investing in publicly quoted securities.

What are publicly quoted securities?

Publicly quoted securities are financial instruments officially listed and traded on recognized, regulated exchanges. Being “publicly quoted” means their prices are publicly available, and eligible investors can buy or sell them through licensed intermediaries such as stockbrokers.

In Nigeria, the major regulated trading platforms include:

South-WestThe South-West led the VAT pool with ₦333.01bn in contributions but received ₦91.88bn, which is just 27.59% of what it paid in. This continues the region’s status as Nigeria’s biggest VAT contributor.

Nigeria’s private sector is thriving. From fintech unicorns to major airlines and indigenous manufacturers, several Nigerian-founded companies have grown to impressive valuations. Yet, surprisingly, many of them are not listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) — the country’s primary stock market.

Why would a high-value company choose not to go public in its home market? The reasons vary — from founders wanting full control to strategic listings overseas. In this article, we’ll explore those reasons and highlight some of the top Nigerian firms by valuation that remain outside the NGX.

In this article I'll be telling you how you can collect a pos machine from any online mobile Money in Nigeria. In my last article I gave some procedures on how to collect POS from any bank in Nigeria. In case you missed the article I will drop the link below this article if you prefer to use bank POS rather than online mobile Money or you can check my account to read the article titled:

"Procedures to Collect POS Machine from any Nigerian Bank to Start Making Daily Income"

One thing to consider before you choose whether to use bank POS or online mobile Money is the chargers. Most bank in Nigeria charge 0.7 percent on any transaction you make on their POS machine but some of online mobile Money charge 0.5% on any transaction you make on their POS machine.

It is very easy to start a POS business in Nigeria with a low capital of just N100, 000 when you have chosen a good location, make sure your location for the business is either a market or school environment because is the location that will determine the profit you will be making per day. If you choose a good location you can be making a minimum of N3000 per day from a POS business

For you to get a POS machine from any bank in Nigeria you must have a minimum of turnover of 1 million in just 30 days. But for online mobile Money the condition is different

Online Mobile Money will provide you with a POS usually within a month once they can monitor your transaction volume on transfers.

We live in a fast world, where everyone wants everything to happen fast, and information is disseminated even faster. People no longer want to wait till the evening papers come out before knowing what's up, they want to get the news minutes after it breaks.

They also want to hear the music immediately it is released without going to the store to get it in tape or CD format. Millions of Nigerians no longer want to go to the store to get the latest Jordans, or Louboutin shoes, they want to sit in the comfort of their homess and order for it online. This facts and many more have led to the new breed of millionaires we have in Nigeria- Rich Internet Entrepreneurs.

We at a time when every information is at the tip of your fingers (thanks to Google), and with the right level of determination and passion, you can achieve your dreams faster. You can, with your laptop and Internet connection, build a world-class company in your disorganized bedroom. Today, I am going to list 5 individuals, ordinary like you and me, who build their businesses from scratch.

5. Seun Osewa (Founder of Nairaland.com)


Very few people know the name- Seun Osewa, but millions of Nigerians (young and old) visit Nairaland.com daily. The Forum/Website was founded by Seun in 2005, a few years after he dropped out of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife. The forum gets an estimated 5 million pageviews daily.

He has since left off the Google Adsense ads on his site, and now gets direct ad placements. But, from the look of various empty ad spaces (boxes containing the words- How To PLACE TARGETED ADS on Nairaland) on the forum, it is clear he hasn't gotten a hang of it, and not fully maximizing the high level of traffic the forum gets daily. Experts have pegged him at earning between 10-15 million Naira Ad money from his forum monthly.

4. Linda Ikeji (Owner of Lindaikejisblog.com)


The number one blog site in the country, Lindaikejisblog.com (formerly, lindaikeji..com) is run solely by former model, 35 year old Linda Ikeji. Even though there are a number of other Nigerian websites that get more traffic than her blog site, no one gets more direct Ads than Linda. No one. The way she makes her money is not hearsay or gossip, but fact that anyone with basic arithmetic skills can add up.

Linda has a bunch of rectangular banners on her site, which cost N500,000 a month to place ads in. There are 20 of them, which brings her income up to 10 million Naira montly for the rectangular Ads. A long leader-board banner at the top cost a million Naira a month, and the total takeover of the blog's background cost 4 million a week (that's potentially 16 million a month). Then she also does one-off guest post every day which cost 50k. She does an average of 6 of those a day, which brings her income in this area to 300k a day, and 9 million a month. Now, let's do the addition- 10 plus 16 plus 9 equals 35 million Naira monthly...plus or minus. So, now you see why she can afford the kind of luxury lifestyle she lives.

Since our last market update, the Bitcoin price has continued higher, with the rate of growth exploding so far that the price of the cryptocurrency has gone vertical, briefly tapping $6,600 just some hours ago.

At that price, BTC was up 20% on the day, easily outperforming the American stock market indices of the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones, which have posted slight gains (of 1% to 2%) on the day.

Trend is getting Bullish

The trend is getting bullish, though. Analyst Galaxy noted that a trend indicator that nailed the $6,400 bottom in December, then predicted a retracement when BTC was trading at $10,000, has just printed a buy signal for the first time since December. This would suggest a reversal is underway.

Not to mention, there are many fundamental reasons to be bullish on Bitcoin. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared a few:

-Bitcoin has started to decouple from traditional markets, proving that it may act as a safe haven in the ongoing crisis.

-72% of Coinbase clients are buying BTC, per data from the company itself.

-The Bitcoin block reward halving is 50 days away.

-Billions of dollars may return “when levered longs return.”

-Central banks have printed trillions worth of dollars to stimulate the economy, setting the stage for inflation that may benefit cryptocurrency.

The only thing I will said that igbo fail to know in Nigeria is tribalism, put Hausa or Yoruba in charge of anything only what you will see is there brothers but igbos failed to know this . Since Nigeria existence igbo has being fighting for one Nigeria but Yoruba and Hausa are fighting for there tribe that is why they see igbos as not being political sophisticated because they only vote for there tribe, it started back from Awolowo time.

in fact these statement is clueless Igbo that want to separate from Nigeria and you said that they are fighting for one Nigeria.

Igbo are also the most tribalistic in Nigeria. Just tell me one movie that does deserve Award that they gave award.

Simple research on Google trends would show us that Nigerians are the #1 nation that is most interested in cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin. The amount of search queries connected to Bitcoin in Nigeria is more than anywhere else, even in countries such as the USA and the UK. The only countries that are somewhat close to the number of searches are South Africa and Ghana.

Cryptocurrency market has become very popular and every trader is looking to make it big with bitcoin trading. It is however a very volatile market that can be hard to keep up with, especially considering that this is a market that never sleeps unlike the stock market. To make things easier for traders, trading bots have been developed. For real traders, live performance, and innovative training, you can

follow link . A trading bot can be defined as software program which is designed to interact with financial exchanges directly so relevant information is obtained and interpreted so orders can be bought and sold on the traders’ behalf.

In essence, the bots make decision through market price movement monitoring and use of pre-programed rules so that losses can be stopped. The bot analyzes market actions like price, volume and orders according to your preferences and tastes as a trader and makes the decision. If you are into bitcoin trading, then you must need to check which are the best crypto trading bots to ease out the process for you.

With these indicators we can determine that Nigerians are interested in cryptocurrencies right? Furthermore, it is a basis of the assumption that Bitcoin is extremely popular with Nigerians. But why is this the case? Why are Nigerians interested in such a thing? Well, everything is connected to the financial situation in the country.

Nigeria approved disbursing $268 million in funding to support agricultural entrepreneurs and young technology innovators, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said.

One tranche of the funding, worth 90 billion naira ($248 million), will be dispensed by the central bank as “soft loans” for people building small-scale agricultural businesses, while another $20 million will provide funding support to young innovators in technology, according an emailed statement by the presidency.

Nigeria, Africa’s biggest crude producer, is seeking to diversify its economy away from oil dependence by boosting productivity in non-oil industries.

Economy expanded 2.27% in 2019 compared with 1.9% in 2018

Fourth-quarter GDP growth at 2.55% beat median estimate

Nigeria’s economy expanded the most in four years in 2019 as oil output increased and the central bank took steps to boost credit growth.


Gross domestic product expanded 2.27% last year, the most since 2015, the Abuja-based National Bureau of Statistics said on its website on Monday. The economy grew 2.55% in the three months through December from a year earlier, compared with 2.3% in the third quarter. The median estimate of four economists in a Bloomberg survey was for a quarterly number of 2.21%.

West Africa’s largest economy has been struggling to recover meaningfully from a 2016 contraction and last year the central bank started stepping in to boost output. Hamstrung by high inflation the monetary policy committee reduced its key lending rate only once in 2019, but institution announced increases in the loan-to-deposit ratios for banks to force lenders to give out more credit.

Real growth in finance and insurance industry was 20.18% in the fourth quarter, driven by a surge of 22.33% in financial institutions, the most in at least four years. The finance and insurance sector’s contribution to real GDP rose to 3.19% in the three months through December from 2.72% a year earlier.

The central bank said last month private-sector credit growth accelerated to 13.6% in December. While the biggest take-up of credit in the last seven months of 2019 was in manufacturing, the sector grew only 0.77% for the year, dragged down by a slump in oil refining.
