Bitcoin Soars In Nigeria As Government Promotes Digital Cash
Bitcoin (BTC) has seen an exponential increase in demand in Nigeria as the country’s central bank encourages the population to switch to digital cash. As a result, the price of Bitcoin has escalated tremendously above global market levels.
The cost of one Bitcoin on Nigeria’s Crypto exchange NairaEx is currently trading at around 17.6 million Naira, Nigeria’s currency, equivalent to $38,200 U.S. dollars. This represents an increase of almost 60% compared to Bitcoin’s current price of $23,150 as of this writing.
Nigeria Bets On Bitcoin And Digital Assets Adoption
Korištenje električnih romobila ističe Bitcoin pump in this Nigeria’s cryptocurrency exchange comes after the country’s central bank began limiting over-the-counter (OTC) cash withdrawals by individuals and corporate organizations per week.
Ova politika ograničenja podizanja dopušta samo Nigerijcima podizanje najviše 20,000 Naira (NGN), u vrijednosti od oko 43 USD, s bankomata u zemlji po danu, uz ograničenje od 100,000 NGN, u vrijednosti od 217 USD.
Korištenje električnih romobila ističe pismo objavljeno in December 2022, in which the Central Bank of Nigeria redesigned its policy regarding cash withdrawal limit, has resulted in a premium being added to the price of Bitcoin in the African country.
Ova mjera ima za cilj navodno eliminirati pranje novca i smanjiti inflaciju u afričkoj zemlji, koja je prema posljednjem izvješću o stopi inflacije u Nigeriji iznosila 21.34% u prosincu 2022. Lagano je pala s vrhunca od 21.47%.
Središnja banka Nigerije također je Nigerijcima dala rok do 24. siječnja da zamijene svoje stare novčanice veće denominacije za novu valutu. Ova mjera izazvala je uznemirenost stanovništva; ljudi su prijavili da je rok prekratak, što je dovelo do produljenja.
Dugi odnos Nigerije s kripto imovinomSredišnja banka Nigerije prešla je dug put u prihvaćanju digitalnih valuta. Središnja banka je 2021. izdala cirkular svim financijskim institucijama da prestanu pružati usluge kripto mjenjačnicama. Također je pozvalo na zatvaranje računa pojedinaca i tvrtki koje aktivno koriste kriptovalute i trguju digitalnom imovinom.
A few months later, Nigeria planned to pass a law recognizing Bitcoin and digital assets as capital for investment. This industry has generated a lot of interest and alternatives to diversify capital and provide solutions to economic problems in different countries.
Ovaj zakon je proveden nakon što središnja banka zemlje nije uspjela uvesti digitalnu valutu središnje banke (CBDC). Ovu digitalnu imovinu, nazvanu e-Naira, stanovništvo je prošle godine slabo prihvatilo i usvojilo, sa stopom usvajanja od 0.5%.
Nigeria has also been in talks with Binance, the world’s number one crypto exchange, to develop an economic zone to support crypto and blockchain businesses in the region.
Bitcoin has begun a correction as of press time, falling 4.6% in the last 24 hours. And 0.1% down in the last seven days in the global markets. Investors expect the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting tomorrow to have an impact in the price action.
