<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><a href="https://coin-turk.com/neler-konusuldu-binance-durusmasinin-ozeti" data-wpel-link="internal">The world of cryptocurrency</a></strong> often encounters various developments. This time, the latest incident comes from Nigeria. A federal court has ordered the popular cryptocurrency exchange <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/binance-will-it-close-what-does-the-future-hold-for-crypto/" data-wpel-link="internal">Binance</a> to provide comprehensive data on all Nigerians trading on its platform. This move can be seen as an indication of Nigeria taking cryptocurrency trading seriously and tightening regulations in this area.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="binance-under-the-grip-of-nigeria">Binance Under the Grip of Nigeria</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">As reported by Peoples Gazette, the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (<strong>EFCC</strong>) made a request to the court. The request demanded all information on individuals who trade on Binance’s platform. The court accepted this request. This order followed the invitation and subsequent arrest of Binance’s senior executives in Nigeria and is part of a legal process now in its fourth week.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">The interim order came after an earlier development that Nigeria demanded the cryptocurrency exchange to deliver information on its top 100 users in the country and all transaction history covering the last six months.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="judge-s-statements-attract-attention">Judge’s Statements Attract Attention</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Judge Emeka Nwite’s statements regarding the court’s decision are noteworthy. The judge stated, “The applicant’s request dated February 29, 2024, has been granted as requested. This honorable court’s order directs Binance operators to provide the commission with comprehensive data/information regarding all individuals trading on the platform from Nigeria,” highlighting the seriousness of the decision.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Nigeria has taken action against the crypto industry, which is alleged to have facilitated illegal capital outflows that led to a record depreciation of the Nigerian naira against the dollar. The country’s authorities have shown particular interest in Binance’s activities, seeking a $10 billion penalty for enabling $26 billion in untraceable funds.</p> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="binance-officials-still-in-custody">Binance Officials Still in Custody</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify">Nigerian authorities also detained two senior Binance executives after inviting them to the country to discuss the matter. The court hearing for the two detained Binance executives is scheduled for Wednesday. Additionally, as we reported yesterday, Nigerian authorities have also proposed a 400% increase in registration fees for crypto firms.</p> 
<p style="text-align: justify">At this point, we can say that cryptocurrency Binance is facing a challenging process in Nigeria. How the crypto exchange will respond to the court’s order is a matter of curiosity.</p>
