<p style="text-align: justify">Nigeria is preparing a bill to tax cryptocurrencies in September. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is leading this effort. However, some officials blame cryptocurrencies for the Naira’s depreciation, citing increased dollar outflows from the country. Large transactions via <strong>Binance</strong> are particularly alleged to negatively impact the national economy. In this context, Binance executive <strong>Tigran Gambaryan</strong> remains detained in the country.</p>

The expectations of the cryptocurrency community are also significant. The introduction of a regulatory and licensing regime indicates a shift in the government’s perspective on the cryptocurrency sector. The new licensing process is part of Nigeria’s plans to regulate and tax the crypto economy.</p>
