The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has recently taken significant regulatory actions against cryptocurrency transactions. The bank directed all financial institutions to identify and report individuals or entities transacting with four major cryptocurrency exchanges: Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and Binance. Furthermore, these identified accounts are to be placed on a 'Post No Debit' status, effectively freezing them for a period of six months. This move is part of a broader pattern of fluctuating regulatory measures in Nigeria, including previous bans and restrictions on cryptocurrencies.
