Reprieve As Nigeria’s Regulator Issues Progressive Cryptocurrency Rules
尼日利亞證券交易委員會（SEC）制定了旨在監管該國數字資產的新規則，這標誌著非洲人口最多的國家全面接受加密資產。
這些規則包含在一份長達 54 頁的文件中，被視為在徹底禁止數字資產與該國這些資產不受監管的性質之間達成妥協。
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.
這些規則還對旨在保護投資者的數字資產發行平台（DAOP）提出了嚴格的要求。 DAOP 應具有強大的 KYC 程序、災難恢復計劃、風險管理和強大的安全功能。 此外，申請人必須採用嚴格的反洗錢規則並致力於打擊資助恐怖主義行為。
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 的立場也與尼日利亞中央銀行 (CBN) 的立場形成鮮明對比，後者禁止銀行在 2020 年發行加密貨幣服務，從而削弱了尼日利亞的流動性， 抑制該國數字資產領域的採用和增長。 自禁止這項貿易以來，銀行和主要金融機構都後退了一步，擔心巨額罰款和取消營業許可的威脅迫在眉睫。 上個月，CBN 對三家國內銀行處以 1.9 萬美元的罰款，原因是它們為加密貨幣交易提供便利。
SEC 規則中的要求，例如代幣發行平台和交易所在各自銀行維護信託賬戶，可能會減輕 CBN 的加密負擔。
也就是說，儘管政府對數字資產進行了部分限制，但尼日利亞的年輕人， 精通技術的人群繼續採用加密貨幣, 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.
