How can I buy US stocks from Nigeria?
One way is stock tokens such as Apple, Tesla and Nvidia in Catch, which runs in Telegram and on the web, does not block Nigeria and trades 24/7 for 0.50% once per move, $0.10 minimum. Start by sending USDC on Base from an exchange that supports the Base network; paying by card through MoonPay, in Nigerian naira, is a second option with stricter ID checks.

Ways to add money from Nigeria
From an exchange, first: Withdraw USDC, choose the Base network, and send it to the address Catch shows under Add money. Only send on Base or Robinhood Chain; other networks may be lost. We have not checked whether Quidax lets you withdraw USDC on the Base network, so confirm with your exchange before you send.
By card, as a second option: MoonPay runs card payments in Catch, lists Nigeria as supported and takes Nigerian naira. MoonPay marks Nigeria as high risk, so expect stricter ID checks. Card top-ups start at $30. The first time, MoonPay asks for your name, date of birth and address, and sometimes a photo ID.
Your money sits in one balance, held in dollars, across Base and Robinhood Chain, and moving it between them has no Catch fee.
Where Catch is not a fit
Catch sells stock tokens held in your Catch wallet, not a brokerage account. If you want a brokerage account, Catch is not a fit.
Catch has no bank transfer option. You add money by card through MoonPay, or from another wallet: USDC or ETH on Base, or USDG or ETH on Robinhood Chain.
If you would rather not go through stricter ID checks with MoonPay, skip the card and send USDC on Base instead.
