<p>With Nigeria ranking second in Chainalysis’ 2023 global grassroots crypto adoption index, the importance of a trusted platform for crypto transactions is a top priority, said Binance. From June 2020 to February 2024, Binance answered 626 requests from Nigerian authorities, helping fight crimes like fraud and money laundering, and often responded within 37.4 hours.</p> 
<p>Binance blocked 281 Nigerian accounts in January 2022 due to money laundering risks. Binance also held training for over 30 EFCC officials in Nigeria twice in 2023, teaching them about crypto investigations. They ran a three-hour online workshop for 70 EFCC officials in August 2023 and discussed ongoing training with the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit.</p> 
<p>Binance highlighted these statistics to demonstrate its dedication to developing safe cryptocurrency environment in Nigeria. The company aims to clarify that it has not contributed to any instability of the Naira. By working closely with regulatory authorities for the past few years, Binance has been actively pursuing a secure expansion of the cryptocurrency market, following its goals as a leading exchange.</p>
