The NEPZA is in discussions with Binance and Talent City to establish a special economic zone for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in West Africa.

Nigeria seeks to create a special economic zone for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. NEPZA is in discussion with Binance and Talent City to establish a partnership. The economic zone will reportedly mirror the Dubai Virtual Free Zone.

Nigeria is seeking to create the first economic free zone for bitcoin and cryptocurrency in West Africa through the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), per a comunicados à CMVM.

NEPZA está em discussões com Binance, uma das principais bolsas de criptomoedas, bem como Cidade de Talentos especializada na construção de zonas económicas especiais.

Our goal is to engender a flourishing virtual free zones to take advantage of a near trillion dollar virtual economy in blockchains and digital economy," said Adesoji Adesugba, NEPZA's managing director.

Além disso, a NEPZA explicou que se for alcançada uma parceria, o produto final espelharia o do Zona Franca Virtual de Dubai.

In fact, this past December, Binance entrou em um Memorando de Entendimento (MOU) with the Dubai World Trade Center. The memorandum intends to make Dubai a hub for bitcoin and cryptocurrency related products and services by creating a “new international virtual asset ecosystem.”

Em Fevereiro do ano passado, o Banco Central da Nigéria emitiu um carta banning regulated institutions from “dealing” with bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Following the ban, Nigeria saw an levantamento of 27% in peer-to-peer (P2P) bitcoin transactions across the country.

Na verdade, ainda no ano passado, a África como um todo tornou-se o maior país do Transações P2P no mundo em volume. Mais ou menos na mesma época, Chainalysis reported a global adoption index which showed Nigeria in the top 10 countries worldwide for its adoption of bitcoin.

Moreover, as Dubai and Nigeria look to establish special economic zones to benefit bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we can take a look at existing economic zones. For instance, the free city of próspero é um exemplo de uma estrutura econômica personalizável.
