<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>Nigeria</strong> is poised to become a rapidly growing economy in the cryptocurrency world. The country’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to license cryptocurrency providers. This move responds to Nigeria’s increasing interest in cryptocurrencies. Recent developments also indicate a shift in the country’s perspective on the cryptocurrency sector.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="licenses-will-strengthen-the-cryptocurrency-market">Licenses Will Strengthen the Cryptocurrency Market</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">Cryptocurrencies in Nigeria have long been under pressure. However, the Central Bank’s lifting of the ban on facilitating crypto transactions last December shows the country is warming up to this new economic power.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify">Nigeria SEC announced that cryptocurrency and token service providers must obtain licenses. The licensing process is expected to start this month. This step will further strengthen Nigeria’s rapidly growing <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-price-continues-to-rise-above-63000/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">cryptocurrency </a><a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">market</a>.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="tax-regulations-will-bring-clarity-to-the-cryptocurrency-sector">Tax Regulations Will Bring Clarity to the Cryptocurrency Sector</h2>
<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>
<p style="text-align: justify">Nigeria is joining countries like South Africa, France, and the United Kingdom in licensing cryptocurrency providers. These new developments will further solidify Nigeria’s position in the global cryptocurrency economy. A new era is beginning for both cryptocurrency users and the government.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">In response to the rapid growth of the cryptocurrency market, Nigeria’s move to start licensing crypto firms this month is noteworthy. 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>
