In other news, Nigeria has increased its attempts to control cryptocurrency exchanges, resulting in the detention of two top Binance officials.
The executives traveled to Nigeria after the government banned multiple cryptocurrency trading websites last week, but they were held by the office of the country’s national security adviser and their passports were confiscated, according to a story on the Reuters website.
The ban comes after multiple cryptocurrency websites emerged as popular trading venues for Nigeria’s currency, which has been plagued by chronic dollar shortages.
The naira’s official exchange rate has been trading near the parallel market level since the currency was weakened last month, the second adjustment in less than a year.
Nigeria has been battling debilitating dollar shortages, which have pushed its currency to historic lows after foreign investors withdrew following a previous oil price crash and the imposition of capital controls in 2015.
At a news conference on Tuesday, Nigeria’s central bank governor, Olayemi Cardoso, mentioned Binance while addressing the movement of cash through cryptocurrency exchanges.
“We are concerned that certain practices go on that indicate illicit flows going through a number of these entities [crypto platforms] and suspicious flows at best,” Cardoso told reporters.
“In the case of Binance, in the last one year alone, $26bn has passed through Binance Nigeria from sources and users who we cannot adequately identify,” he added.
Cardoso stated that Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency, police, and national security adviser were coordinating an inquiry into bitcoin exchanges. According to a person familiar with the case, the authorities have been requesting a list of Binance’s Nigerian users since its start.
Last Monday, the telecom regulator directed telecom firms to prohibit access to several of the world’s major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
President Bola Tinubu’s administration has attempted to attract foreign investment to help the country’s faltering economy through several market-friendly measures. These included attempting to clean up its chaotic system of several exchange rates and ending its decades-long currency peg. It has depreciated the naira twice in eight months.
