In Nigeria, a country with one of the highest cryptocurrency adoption rates in the world, the authorities have taken a significant step towards strengthening regulation. According to the new regulations, cryptocurrency exchanges are now required to disclose customer information and all their transactions. This decision has triggered mixed reactions, but it has a clear purpose.

Nigeria has implemented new regulations under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act (NTAA) 2025 that require crypto transactions to be linked to real-world identities through Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) and National Identification Numbers (NINs).This major shift aims to make cryptocurrency activity traceable for tax purposes, improve compliance, curb tax evasion, and align with global standards like the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), which also took effect on the same date.

Key Details of the New RulesVirtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) — such as licensed crypto exchanges, brokers, and platforms operating in Nigeria — must now:Collect and verify users' TIN (issued by the Nigeria Revenue Service for tax tracking) and NIN (the national biometric ID linked to fingerprints and facial data).
Include these details in monthly reports submitted to tax authorities.

Report transaction specifics: dates, types and values of digital assets, sales values, and counterparty information.
Retain KYC records, transaction histories, and identification data for at least 7 years.

Flag and report large or suspicious transactions to both tax authorities and the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU).

This doesn't involve direct blockchain monitoring; instead, it relies on centralized reporting from regulated platforms to match crypto flows with individuals' tax records and income declarations.

The move builds on earlier efforts (like the 2022 attempt to tax crypto profits at 10%), which struggled due to difficulty linking anonymous trades to people.

With Nigeria seeing massive crypto volumes — around $92.1 billion in digital assets received between June 2024 and June 2025 — the government wants to capture revenue from this growing sector without banning it.

Broader ContextCrypto remains legal in Nigeria, and this is part of formalizing the market rather than restricting it.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lifted its earlier banking restrictions on crypto-related transactions back in late 2023, allowing licensed VASPs to operate with proper oversight from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and strong KYC/AML rules.

Many Nigerians rely on crypto for remittances, savings, and hedging against inflation, so this could bring more legitimacy and institutional interest.

However, it also means reduced anonymity on regulated platforms — peer-to-peer (P2P) or decentralized options might still offer more privacy, but authorities are pushing for compliance through licensed services.

Overall, it's a big step toward treating crypto like other financial assets: taxable, regulated, and tied to your official identity.If you're a user or trader in Nigeria, expect exchanges to ramp up ID verification requests soon (if they haven't already). What are your

thoughts on this — game-changer for transparency or too much government reach?

Colmare il Divario di Fiducia
La Commissione Nazionale per i Valori Mobiliari della Nigeria (SEC) sta esplorando l'uso della tecnologia blockchain per costruire fiducia nei mercati dei capitali.
Secondo il Direttore Generale Emomotimi Agama, sfruttare questa tecnologia è fondamentale "per colmare il divario di [fiducia] tra emittenti e investitori."

Attribuire la scarsa performance dei token lanciati sull'ecosistema TON in seguito agli airdrop esclusivamente o principalmente a nigeriani e indiani sarebbe un'eccessiva semplificazione. Sebbene la loro significativa partecipazione influenzi le dinamiche dei token, il contesto più ampio del design degli airdrop, del comportamento di mercato e della maturità dell'ecosistema di TON suggerisce un quadro più complesso. Esaminiamo questo sulla base di dati e tendenze analizzate in precedenza, e offrirò una conclusione ragionata.

Evidenza di Scarsa Performance
I token lanciati tramite airdrop TON spesso mostrano un modello di hype iniziale seguito da bruschi cali:
