This story no clear, maybe dem they try say transaction increase and no be users.
It is 1386.7% increase in transaction, while 2467.2% (approximately 25x) increase in number of users. If you noticed, IP address was included in the article. Although, it is not directly linked to the article but I guess IP addresses were used to get the result.
The average number of monthly transactions across African countries has shown a 1,386.7% increase from January 2021 to January 2022. The number of users has also increased significantly, showing a 2,467.2% spike over the same period. The average amount per transaction has, however, decreased, indicating that the adoption of this technology is taking place not only for large transfers, but for small payments as well.
Snowballing demand and the increase in user numbers by almost 25 times in the last year shows the readiness of the population for such changes.
Although, some Africans can be using different IP addresses, rerouting VPN, DPN and Tor connections to access different wallets, and also using different IP address for different exchanges. All these can make the methodology used not to be completely accurate if it is based on IP addresses, but this still gives us a prove that number of crypto users in Africa significantly increased in 2021.
