 <blockquote> 
  <p>The Commission again reiterates that the activities of Binance, https://www.binance.com and any such other platform through which the Company solicits investors is neither registered nor regulated by the Commission and its operations in Nigeria are therefore illegal. Any member of the investing public dealing with the entity, making such solicitation is doing so at his/her own risk.</p>

 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Nigeria" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/nigeria.html">Nigeria</a> has undertaken a tough stand on public cryptocurrencies Last year, the SEC made it clear that it considers all cryptocurrencies as securities. The country has been evaluating crypto exchange applications for registration on a trial basis. However, they have put the full registration process on hold until the SEC reaches an agreement with the central bank. The central bank’s current stance prevents local financial institutions from engaging with crypto service providers.</p> 
 <p>Also, the Nigerian central bank has been pushing hard for the use of its CBDC Digital Naira. However, they have been struggling to find greater adoption among users.</p> 
 <p>While <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> faces strong rejection in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Nigeria" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/nigeria.html">Nigeria</a>, it gets a roaring welcome in other crypto-friendly jurisdictions such as the UAE. Earlier today, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> became the first exchange to secure an operational license in Dubai.</p>
