Because demand for dollars in Nigeria exceeds the supply available at the official rate, a parallel market (often called the "black market") trades dollars at a premium. The most liquid, real-time version of this is the USDT/NGN crypto rate — a dollar-pegged stablecoin trading peer-to-peer — shown above as the parallel rate.
