 <li>The Central Bank of Nigeria lifted a ban on crypto transactions in December 2023.</li>

The activities of prominent cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Binance, OctaFX, and Coinbase, have been disrupted by <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/urgent-need-for-crypto-regulation-in-nigeria-emphasized-by-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nigeria</a>. Particularly, this step follows the <a href="https://www.cbn.gov.ng/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Central Bank of Nigeria’s</a> recent decision to allow cryptocurrency transactions, indicating a very uncertain regulatory environment for digital assets in the nation.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has ordered telecom companies to curb access to these cryptocurrency platforms as tensions rise over worries about currency speculation. Binance, OctaFX, and <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/coinbase-presses-sec-for-grayscales-ethereum-etf-approval/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a> are among the companies that may be affected by the restriction, according to a report in the Nigerian business publication Business Day.

This move comes after a policy change on digital assets in December 2023, when the Central Bank of Nigeria lifted a ban on crypto transactions. Nevertheless, Binance has made it clear that its platform is not meant for currency pricing, and the new decision is an effort to reduce currency speculation activities in the nation.
Notably, <a href="http://binance.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a> reaffirmed its dedication to a transparent and market-driven ecosystem in response to customer concerns over the platform’s inability to acquire dollars. In response to claims that currency speculation was flourishing on the platform, the company said that it had temporarily halted transactions in order to avoid any potential price suppression.
Nevertheless, Binance has reaffirmed its involvement with local authorities and regulators in order to be in line with the crypto legislation that is always changing. But with crypto exchanges in Nigeria still in the dark about their future, open communication between lawmakers, regulators, and industry leaders is more important than ever.
