The Nigerian government is expected to reverse its stance on cryptocurrency transactions in the country. According to a central bank official, the Nigerian central bank is planning to join the global central bank digital currency (CBDC) project.
The CBDC is believed to use blockchain technology, giving it the characteristics of a cryptocurrency. Nigeria's government prohibited cryptocurrency activity in the country earlier this year. According to the authorities, it is used for money laundering, terrorism sponsorship, purchasing unlawful harms, and insurgency sponsorship.
The financial financial institutions were the forerunners in the fight to have cryptocurrencies declared illegal by the government. Many countries are planned to participate in CBDC development projects. Ghana is one among them. Japan, Vietnam, and other countries are examples.
