Global crypto exchange Kucoin suspends p2p naira trading
- Kucoin suspends all naira-based peer-to-peer trading in Nigeria.
- Nigeria's government has been cracking down on p2p crypto trading, with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission blocking accounts and making arrests.
- The naira's volatility and decline in value have prompted concerns, and it is uncertain if authorities will implement a ban on p2p trading.
The Nigerian government's crackdown on p2p crypto trading and the suspension of naira-based trading by Kucoin indicate a challenging environment for cryptocurrency activities in the country. The volatility of the naira and the government's actions raise concerns about the future of crypto trading in Nigeria.
