## π― Business Problem
P2P crypto markets in emerging economies operate within unique environments shaped by:
* Local currency availability
* Payment infrastructure
* Merchant participation
* Liquidity
* User demand
* Regulatory considerations
* Trust and security
* Exchange competition
* Local market behavior
A market may have strong crypto adoption but still experience limited P2P liquidity if there are not enough active and reliable merchants.
The key question is:
> **What factors drive a healthy P2P crypto market in Africa, and how can platforms increase liquidity, merchant participation and trading activity?**
