Coinbase Denies Reports of Nigerian Crypto Ban
Cryptocurrency platform Coinbase is denying reports that it is being blocked in Nigeria.
Last week saw a report by the Financial Times (FT) that the Nigerian government had gotten the country’s telecoms to block platforms including Coinbase, Binance and Kraken.
However, a spokesperson for Coinbase told Coindesk on Thursday (Feb. 22) that it was still in operation in Africa’s largest nation.
“We are continuing to investigate these reports, but based on an initial investigation, it appears that Coinbase.com remains accessible from Nigeria,” the spokesperson told the news outlet.
