Nigeria Updates Guidelines for Crypto Service Providers to Block Criminals
Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has updated its guidelines for crypto service providers to prevent criminals from accessing the capital market. This move follows the Nigerian government's decision to block local access to several crypto platforms, including Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase. The updated SEC guidance includes a manual on anti-money laundering measures and rules on combating the financing of terrorism. Despite recent crackdowns on the crypto space, the Central Bank of Nigeria has reversed a measure that previously blocked local banks from providing services and accounts to crypto firms.
