Crypto War in Nigeria! The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)<\/strong> caused excitement in the crypto community in Nigeria by announcing that it had lifted the restrictions<\/strong> on cryptocurrency transactions on December 22. The previous ban had highlighted P2P traders<\/strong> but with the new circular, the crypto community is now leaning towards peer-to-peer trading and direct payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Luz, co-founder and CMO of Flincap<\/strong>, stated that the lifting of the ban is a significant plus for the industry, saying, “Crypto-fiat exchanges and P2P merchants will compete in the world’s largest crypto P2P market and the strongest will survive.”<\/p>\n

Luz also commented on whether the new regulations would deter exchanges from entering the Nigerian market, saying that obtaining an SEC license<\/strong> could be difficult initially, but it would benefit the crypto industry in the long run.<\/p>\n

This development contradicts the CBN’s ban on all financial institutions from providing services to crypto exchanges earlier in 2021. However, the new circular signals the beginning of a new era in the industry, showing the global demand and adoption of crypto shows the restrictions were unjust.<\/p>\n
