Reprieve As Nigeria’s Regulator Issues Progressive Cryptocurrency Rules
Komisyon Echanj Sekirite (SEC) nan Nijerya te mete deyò nouvo règ ki ap chèche kontwole byen dijital nan peyi a, siyal akseptasyon konplè nan byen kripto nan nasyon ki pi abitan nan Afrik.
Règ yo, ki genyen nan yon dokiman 54 paj yo konsidere kòm kreye yon konpwomi ant yon entèdiksyon kareman sou byen dijital ak nati a ki pa reglemante nan byen sa yo nan peyi a.
The document sets out the requirements for the registration of Bitcoin and digital asset providers while specifically stating that digital assets are securities regulated by the SEC. Entities looking to offer digital asset services in Nigeria will have to disclose various documents such as the project’s white paper as well as pay registration fees to secure a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license.
Règ yo mete tou egzijans difisil sou Platfòm Ofri Byen Dijital (DAOP) ki chèche pwoteje envestisè yo. DAOP yo ta dwe gen pwosedi KYC solid, plan rekiperasyon dezas, jesyon risk, ak karakteristik sekirite solid. Anplis de sa, aplikan yo dwe anplwaye règ sere anti-blanchi lajan epi angaje yo pou konbat finansman teworis la.
The rules come 20 months after the commission issued another statement that sought to classify and spell out the treatment of digital assets. In the statement, SEC had stated that “virtual crypto assets are securities unless proven otherwise,” promising to come up with a regulatory framework for the sector.
Pozisyon SEC a se tou yon kontras sevè ak sa yo ki nan Bank Santral Nijerya (CBN) ki entèdi bank yo soti nan founi sèvis kript nan 2020, sape lajan likid sikile soti nan Nijerya ak toufe adopsyon ak kwasans espas avantaj dijital nan peyi a. Depi yo te entèdi komès la, bank yo ak gwo enstitisyon finansye yo te fè yon etap tounen paske yo te pè menas ki parèt nan amann for ak anilasyon pèmi biznis yo. Mwa pase a, CBN a enpoze yon penalite $ 1.9 milyon dola sou twa bank domestik pou fasilite tranzaksyon kriptografik yo.
Kondisyon nan règ SEC yo tankou platfòm emisyon siy ak echanj pou kenbe kont konfyans ak bank respektif yo ta ka konsa fasilite kriptografik CBN a pote.
Sa te di, malgre yon pati nan restriksyon gouvènman an sou byen dijital, jèn Nijerya, Teknoloji-konprandr popilasyon te kontinye adopte cryptocurrencies, which has especially been fueled by the emergence of peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. According to an April report by KuCoin, about 33.4 million Nigerians, which accounts for 35% of the population aged between 18-60 currently use or have owned cryptocurrencies, with 70% of that group saying that they plan on adding more cryptos to their portfolios.
