Reprieve As Nigeria’s Regulator Issues Progressive Cryptocurrency Rules
尼日利亚证券交易委员会 (SEC) 推出了旨在监管该国数字资产的新规则，这表明这个非洲人口最多的国家已完全接受加密资产。
这些规则包含在一份 54 页的文件中，被视为在彻底禁止数字资产与该国这些资产的不受监管性质之间达成妥协。
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.
该规则还对寻求保护投资者的数字资产提供平台（DAOP）提出了严格的要求。 DAOP 应具有强大的 KYC 程序、灾难恢复计划、风险管理和强大的安全功能。 此外，申请人必须采用严格的反洗钱规则并承诺打击资助恐怖主义行为。
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.
SEC 的立场也与尼日利亚中央银行 (CBN) 的立场形成鲜明对比，后者在 2020 年禁止银行发行加密服务，从而削弱了尼日利亚的流动性和 扼杀该国数字资产空间的采用和增长. 自从禁止贸易以来，银行和主要金融机构已经后退了一步，担心巨额罚款和取消营业执照的迫在眉睫的威胁。 上个月，CBN 对 1.9 家促进加密交易的国内银行处以 XNUMX 万美元的罚款。
SEC 规则中的要求，例如代币发行平台和交易所在各自银行维持信托账户，从而可以减轻 CBN 的加密负担。
也就是说，尽管政府对数字资产进行了部分打压，但尼日利亚的年轻人， 精通技术的人群继续采用加密货币, 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.
