As reported earlier today, Bitcoin trading in Zimbabwe has continued to surge after the government banned the use of foreign currencies on June 24. The country is reportedly seeing a rise in peer-to-peer crypto trading as there are no local exchanges offering crypto transactions due to the existing ban on providing such services enacted by Zimbabwe’s central bank in May 2018.
