The Federal Government, in conjunction with the Securities and Exchange Commission, is considering suspending Nigeria’s $56.7 billion peer-to-peer cryptocurrency market to address concerns over illicit activities and the manipulation of the naira exchange rate.
This move follows recent regulatory actions, including barring major fintech firms from accepting new customers, prompting criticism and uncertainty within the crypto community. A pivotal meeting is scheduled for Monday to discuss potential regulations and collaboration with industry stakeholders.
