尼日利亞證券交易委員會主席警告在其監管範圍之外運營的實體將面臨執法行動

尼日利亞證券交易委員會（SEC尼日利亞）主席表示，該機構將對在其監管權限之外運營的實體採取行動。

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria has announced plans to take action against entities operating in the digital asset space without regulatory approval.

尼日利亞證券交易委員會（SEC）宣布計劃對未經監管機構批准而在數位資產領域運營的實體採取行動。

 

 

“We will certainly commence enforcement actions on anyone who wants to operate in this market without the intention of being regulated. Those that do not want to play by the books will not be allowed to operate within our space,” said Dr. Emomotimi Agama, Director-General of SEC Nigeria.

「我們肯定會對任何想要在這個市場上經營但無意受到監管的人採取執法行動。那些不想按規矩行事的人將不被允許在我們的空間內開展業務，」尼日利亞 SEC 總幹事 Emomotimi Agama 博士說。

 

 

The announcement comes after the SEC granted two digital asset exchanges ‘Approval-in-Principle’ to begin operations under the Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Program (ARIP) on August 29, 2024.

此前，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已「原則上批准」兩家數位資產交易所，使其根據加速監管孵化計畫 (ARIP) 於 2024 年 8 月 29 日開始營運。

ARIP itself was announced on June 21, 2024, with the SEC stipulating a 30-day-window within which digital asset operators were required to apply to the program or risk enforcement action. Besides the 2 exchanges, 5 more operators were approved under the program while more applications continue to be considered on a case-by-case basis as they meet all SEC requirements.

ARIP 本身於 2024 年 6 月 21 日宣布，SEC 規定了一個 30 天的窗口期，在此期間數位資產運營商必須申請該計劃或採取風險執法行動。除了 2 家交易所外，該計劃還批准了另外 5 家營運商，同時將根據具體情況繼續予以考慮，因為它們符合 SEC 的所有要求。

According to Dr. Emomotimi, a self-confessed crypto enthusiast, the local cryptocurrency market is valued at over $400 million with 33.4% of Nigerians using or owning cryptocurrencies. Hence, the move to regulate the virtual assets sector is informed by this growing interest and the need to protect investors.

自稱加密貨幣愛好者的 Emomotimi 博士表示，當地加密貨幣市場價值超過 4 億美元，33.4% 的尼日利亞人使用或擁有加密貨幣。因此，監管虛擬資產產業的舉措是出於這種日益增長的興趣和保護投資者的需求。

 

 

Dr. Emomotimi also says the sector requires monitoring so that it does not impede the Nigerian economy.

埃莫莫蒂米博士也表示，該產業需要監控，以免阻礙奈及利亞經濟。

“All these we seek to do without hindering innovation because part of our primary responsibility as the SEC is market development,” Agama stated.

阿加瑪表示：“我們力求在不妨礙創新的情況下完成所有這些工作，因為作為 SEC，我們的主要職責之一就是市場開發。”

 

 

The regulatory action adopted by SEC Nigeria is reminiscent of the strategy adopted in South Africa where the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has been issuing licenses to virtual asset service providers on a case-by-case basis.

尼日利亞 SEC 採取的監管行動讓人想起南非採取的策略，南非金融部門行為監管局 (FSCA) 一直在根據具體情況向虛擬資產服務提供者頒發許可證。

FCSA has so far granted operating licenses to some 138 firms and is running 30 investigations into unauthorized crypto-related financial services within the country.

FCSA 迄今已向約 138 家公司頒發了營運許可證，並正在對該國境內未經授權的加密貨幣相關金融服務進行 30 項調查。

“In the interest of protecting the public and in support of fairness in the industry, the FSCA will act decisively against unlawful CASPs. The FSCA will make the outcome of its investigations known and will publish warnings if it discovers unregistered crypto business.”

「為了保護公眾並支持產業公平，FSCA 將果斷採取行動打擊非法 CASP。 FSCA 將公佈調查結果，如果發現未註冊的加密業務，將發布警告。

FCSA has warned that such platforms are facilitating scams with fraudsters using multiple accounts opened at banks at crypto exchanges as part of their fraudulent activities to avoid detection.

FCSA 警告稱，此類平台正在協助詐欺者利用在加密貨幣交易所的銀行開設的多個帳戶進行詐騙，作為其詐欺活動的一部分，以避免被發現。

In the same vein, South Africa’s Revenue Service (SARS) has begun issuing tax notices to crypto traders using information obtained from some of the licensed crypto asset exchanges.

同樣，南非稅務局（SARS）已開始使用從一些獲得許可的加密資產交易所獲得的資訊向加密貨幣交易者發出稅務通知。
