 <p>Nigeria’s cryptocurrency landscape is witnessing a flurry of activity as regulatory discussions heat up.&nbsp;Amidst crackdowns by the Nigerian Central Bank (CBN) on crypto transactions, the Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria (BICCoN) has called for a pivotal meeting between the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) chief and local and international crypto exchanges.</p>

 <p>Despite efforts to promote regulatory clarity, Nigeria’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> space faces contradictions and challenges amid recent actions by the Nigerian Central Bank including <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crackdown" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crackdown.html">crackdown</a>s on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> transactions and probes into <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency usage. Moreover, telecommunications providers have been compelled to block local <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> users from accessing various <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="exchanges" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/exchanges.html">exchanges</a>’ websites.</p>
 <p>Also, in 2022, the SEC introduced new crypto rules, including a substantial hike in registration fees for crypto exchanges, sparking criticism, particularly due to the potential disadvantage to local entities.</p>
 <p>The meeting, slated for May 6, aims to address the regulatory challenges and seek consensus on the country’s crypto status. It signals a potential turning point in Nigeria’s crypto regulatory landscape after a period of intense crackdown on cryptocurrency activities in the country.</p>
 <p>Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the newly appointed SEC Director General, has extended invitations to industry players, including Blockchain Nigeria User Group (BNUG), Cryptographic Development Initiative in Nigeria (CDIN), Digital Currency Consortium (DCC), and Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN).</p>
 <p>If fruitful the meeting will foster collaborative efforts in navigating regulatory challenges and unlocking opportunities for growth within Nigeria’s crypto ecosystem.</p>
 <p>With diverse perspectives being brought to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="table" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/table.html">table</a>, there is optimism that the meeting could spark positive changes benefiting all <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> stakeholders in Nigeria and on the international stage.</p>
