Nigeria’s Central Bank Relaxes Crypto Rules, Allows Banks to Open Accounts for Crypto Firms
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) revised restrictions on banks facilitating crypto transactions. The news comes after the country’s apex bank introduced a comprehensive ban on banks engaging with crypto. 

According to reports by Bloomberg, citing news from BusinessDay, after nearly two years of a comprehensive ban on banks’ involvement with digital currencies, the Nigerian central bank relaxed restrictions allowing crypto firms to open accounts with Nigerian banks. 

One of The Highest Rates of Crypto Adoption

Nigeria is one of the world’s leading countries in crypto adoption, forcing the Central Bank of Nigeria to revise its stance toward digital assets. The increased global demand and higher crypto adoption rates made the CBN address the stringent restrictions it imposed in 2021. In its 2021 restrictions, the CBN ordered deposit-taking financial institutions to close accounts transacting in or operating crypto exchanges. According to the bank, such deals were “prohibited.” 

In a statement issued to banks on December 22, the CBN explained: 

“However, current trends globally have shown that there is a need to regulate the activities of virtual assets service providers (VASPs), which include cryptocurrencies and crypto assets.” 

Tech journalist Abubakar posted the circular to X (formerly Twitter).

 

 

In its circular, the CBN said it aims to introduce minimum standards and requirements for establishing banking relationships and opening accounts for virtual asset service providers in the country. The CBN further explained its guidelines, which aim to present a strict risk management framework for the banking industry involved in the activities of licensed VASPs. The bank, however, maintains that financial institutions are forbidden to hold, trade, or conduct crypto transactions using their own accounts. 

Nigeria to Introduce Legislation Recognising Bitcoin (BTC) and Other Crypto

In December 2022, it was reported that Nigeria would soon pass a law legalising the use of bitcoin and other crypto. If the law is passed, it will address the country’s growing Bitcoin usage and will be a major catalyst for the country. Despite the 2021 ban, Bitcoin maintains a strong presence in Nigeria. 

With its 2021 crypto ban, Nigeria introduced a central bank digital currency (CBDC) called the eNaira. At the time, the CBN said the eNaira would be introduced to complement the physical Naira instead of replacing it.

Lesson 4: How much money can you make from trading?Before you start dreaming about any potential gains, it's important to remember that, on average, more than 80% of traders lose their money. Furthermore, you should understand a popular mistake that most beginners make. Many beginner traders try to get rich from one grand trade or a few lucky trades. But that's not how trading works. And that's one of the reasons why the majority of beginner traders lose their money. A more realistic daily gain goal is around 1% of your account size. So, if you put $1,000 in your account, you could aim to gain around $10 per day.  If you have a $10,000 account, then you could try to aim for a profit of $100 per day. ... and so on. Remember that these are realistic numbers only for traders who know what they're doing. Also, remember that if you make multiple trades per day, a big part of your profits might get eaten by the spread commissions. Thus it's very important to choose a broker with low spreads. According to the latest comparisons, one of the regulated brokers with the lowest spreads is This Broker Platform. They offer up to 20% lower spreads on EUR/USD vs other top brokers like Forex.com, or TD Ameritrade. Hmm.... $10 profit per day with a $1,000 investment? You might be thinking that it's not much. Actually, it's a LOT if you understand the power of COMPOUND INTEREST. The secret formula to trading success If there is a secret formula to trading (besides learning and practicing hard), it's this:  SUCCESS = COMPOUND INTEREST + DISCIPLINE. 1% daily earnings might sound small at first, but it adds up over time if you keep compounding the profits and growing your account. For example, let's imagine that you deposit $1,000 in your account. As you can see in the visualization below, 1% daily compound interest from $1,000 would result in total earnings of $12,290.99 in one year. Of course, this is just to illustrate the idea of compound interest. You would have to trade consistently every working day to achieve such a result, which is not very realistic for most people. But you can always increase your account size if you're doing good and also go full-time into trading, so it's not impossible to reach and even beat this hypothetical target. Theoretically, if you'd start with $30k, then the 1% daily compound interest could result in total earnings of more than $368k in a year. However, if you are expecting much bigger and faster gains, you will put too much in a single trade and most likely quickly blow your account.  Even if you traded every day, aiming for 1% daily will never go smoothly, of course. You’ll have +3% days and -2% days, etc.  But! This approach provides a more structured and sustainable perspective to trading. It also gives you a target to strive for. "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it - earns it.He who doesn't - pays it."Albert Einstein Intermediate traders often make bigger gains at the beginning of a trading session when the markets are more active and then lose a big part or all their profits later in the day due to lower trading volume or overtrading.

Following a recent court ruling in Illinois, US, that classified Bitcoin and Ethereum as commodities, stakeholders in Nigeria are urging the country's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to adopt a similar stance. This move is driven by the need for clarity and proper categorization as cryptocurrencies become more integral to the global financial landscape. Lucky Uwakwe, Chairman of the Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria (BICCoN), emphasized the importance of clear guidelines. He suggested that the Nigerian SEC should define asset classes for cryptocurrencies and explain their classifications as either securities or commodities, which would help creators understand the regulatory requirements. In Nigeria, digital commodities have not received as much attention as physical commodities, which the Commodity Board has traditionally focused on. However, several government agencies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the SEC, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and the National Security Adviser (NSA), have shown interest in the regulatory aspects of cryptocurrencies. Oladotun Wilfred Akangbe, Chief Marketing Officer of Flincap, highlighted the multifaceted nature of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, noting their significant value as assets. He argued that the SEC should focus on their use as fundraising tools, such as in initial coin offerings (ICOs). Local crypto analyst Rume Ofi also pointed out that each cryptocurrency is unique and should be individually assessed to determine its classification as a security or commodity. By classifying Bitcoin and Ethereum as commodities, the Nigerian SEC could provide much-needed clarity and stability to the market, fostering innovation while ensuring regulatory compliance. $BTC $ETH $ICP #SEC败诉 #ETH_ETFs_Approval_Predictions #NigeriaCrypto #Nigeria's #BTC☀

Binance is in hot water in Nigeria in the aftermath of its settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Nigeria’s House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes issued an ultimatum to Binance CEO Richard Teng on Friday, according to a local news report. Ginger Onwusibe, the chairman of the committee, has asked Teng to appear before the committee by March 4. The summons was issued over its alleged involvement in financial crimes, including money laundering and terrorism financing. Onwusibe warned that Teng’s failure to answer the summons would force the committee to invoke its constitutional powers and take appropriate steps. In its U.S. plea deal, which received the judge’s approval last week, Binance pled guilty to money laundering and terrorism financing. The exchange also agreed to pay a historic fine of $4.3 billion and operate with monitoring as part of its settlement. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 FOLLOW FOR MORE @Proactiveirontee $BNB $ETH $BTC #TrendingTopic #nigeriaP2P #NigeriaCrypto #NigeriaTech #BTC
