Azza took ₦1,012,706,601 of cNGN into its customer deposit addresses in September — about $763,600 at the month's average rate.

Monthly cNGN into Azza customer deposit addresses from June 2025 to September 2026, flat below ₦200M for most of the period then rising to ₦1.01bn in September 2026.

That single month is 1.96x every previous month combined. cNGN has been arriving at Azza since June 2025, and everything from then to the end of August adds up to ₦517.7M. September alone was nearly double it.

The month before was ₦142.5M, and July was ₦33.3M.

The naira rail passed the dollar rail

Azza is an offramp, so the more useful comparison is against the dollar stablecoins arriving at the same addresses.

Azza customer deposits through 2026 comparing cNGN converted to dollars against USDT and USDC, with cNGN overtaking the dollar tokens for the first time in September at $764K versus $243K.

For most of 2026 cNGN was a rounding error next to USDT and USDC — 1% of the dollar book in May, 2% in June, 8% in July. Then 47% in August, and in September 314%: $763,600 of cNGN against $243,195 of dollar stablecoins.

September is the first month in Azza's history where more value arrived in naira than in dollars. Worth noting the dollar side did not collapse to produce that — USDT and USDC deposits were up 9% on August. The naira side simply grew past it.

What this figure is, and is not

This is cNGN arriving at Azza's customer deposit addresses on Base and BSC. It counts transfers only; mints and burns are supply operations, not payments, and are excluded.

It is value in, not Azza's revenue, not withdrawals, and not any fiat or off-chain leg of the same transaction. And it is one venue's deposit flow, not the size of the cNGN market.

Method

cNGN transfer events into Azza customer deposit addresses on Base and BSC, aggregated by calendar month from June 2025 to September 2026. Transfer events only — mints and burns are supply operations and are excluded. Complete months only. Naira figures are the onchain cNGN amount; USD comparisons convert at that month's average NGN/USD rate. This counts value arriving at deposit addresses, not withdrawals and not off-chain or fiat legs.
