Nigeria’s central bank has actually updated its eNaira to guide the country far from
crypto also after a UN record specified that constraints on electronic currencies are stifling the country’s fintech sector.

It is also keeping severe crypto restrictions that cripple the country’s fintech sector.The CBN Branch Controller Bariboloka Koyor spoke at a campaign aiming to “sensitize “businesses to the eNaira at a market in the country’s most populous city of Lagos on May 9 according to a record from Lead. An April record from the KuCoin crypto exchange highlighted that around 33.4 million Nigerians owned or traded cryptocurrencies in the last six months.Restrictions on crypto trading in the country tightened up after the launch of the eNaira in October 2021. The CBN outlawed banks from servicing crypto exchanges in February of the exact same year but actual enforcement happened in November 2021 when the CBN ordered the accounts of two crypto traders to be frozen.This suppression led to industrial banks in the nation tracking their client’s accounts looking for indications of cryptocurrency trading which could trigger accounts for fintech businesses to be flagged.The restrictions on trading were cause for worry in an April report collectively published by the Assistant Generals of the Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Growth(OECD)and also the United Nations(UN).
