Nigeria seems to be rapidly turning into a booming economy in the world of cryptocurrency. The country's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to license cryptocurrency providers in response to Nigeria's growing interest in cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, recent developments are indicative of a different perspective on the country's cryptocurrency field.
Crypto Currency Market Will Be Strengthened with Licenses Cryptocurrencies have long been under pressure in Nigeria. However, the Central Bank lifting the ban on crypto transactions last December indicates that the country is starting to look more positively at this new economic power. The Nigerian SEC has announced that crypto and token service providers will need to be licensed. The licensing process is expected to begin this month. This move will further strengthen Nigeria's rapidly growing cryptocurrency market. Clarity Will Come to the Crypto Currency Area with Tax Regulations Nigeria is preparing a bill to tax cryptocurrencies in September. The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is taking the lead on this. However, some officials blame cryptocurrencies for the devaluation of the Naira, citing increased outflow of dollars from the country. Nigeria is entering a process of licensing cryptocurrency providers, along with countries such as South Africa, France, and the United Kingdom. These new developments will further strengthen Nigeria's position in the global cryptocurrency economy, marking the beginning of a new era for both cryptocurrency users and the government.
