Delisting of Naira from P2P Trading Platforms Underway
In a supposed move to stabilize the Nigerian currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced yesterday that several cryptocurrency exchanges have begun the process of delisting the Naira from Peer-to-Peer (P2P) trading platforms. This action follows a directive issued last week by the SEC in collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
The directive mandates digital currency operators to remove the Naira as a fiat currency option on their platforms. This measure aims to protect the Nigerian currency from potential manipulations that could undermine its value. The SEC's recent checks confirmed that the KuCoin platform has already started implementing this change, adjusting its technology to accommodate the delisting of the Naira.
