尼日利亞監管機構瞄準未經許可的加密平台

奈及利亞 SEC 最近表示打算對未經許可的加密平台實施監管。委員會旨在保護投資者、促進創新

The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced its plan to enforce strict regulations on all unlicensed individuals and business entities operating in the country, including crypto platforms.

尼日利亞證券交易委員會（SEC）宣布計劃對在該國運營的所有無證個人和商業實體（包括加密平台）實施嚴格監管。

The institution recently revealed its intentions to enforce regulations on unlicensed crypto platforms. The Commission aims to protect investors, boost innovation, and regulate entities outside its regulatory framework.

該機構最近透露了其對未經許可的加密平台實施監管的意圖。該委員會的目標是保護投資者、促進創新並監管其監管框架之外的實體。

As reported by local media outlet Nairametrics, Emomotimi Agama, the Director-General of Nigeria’s SEC, shared in a statement on Sunday that business institutions that don’t want to follow the Commission’s guidelines will not be permitted to operate in the country:

根據當地媒體 Nairametrics 報導，尼日利亞 SEC 總幹事 Emomotimi Agama 在周日的聲明中表示，不願遵守委員會指導方針的商業機構將不被允許在該國運營：

“We are certainly going to commence enforcement actions on anyone who wants to operate in this market without the intention of being regulated. For those that do not want to play by the books, we will not allow them to operate within our space.”

「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。對於那些不想按規矩行事的人，我們不會允許他們在我們的空間內運作。

The decision comes after the recent approval in principle of two crypto exchanges, Quidax and Busha. The SEC’s Director stated that the decision to approve the platforms stemmed from the country’s “need to create an inclusive financial system” that considers the growing interest in digital assets among the younger population.

該決定是在最近原則上批准了 Quidax 和 Busha 兩家加密貨幣交易所之後做出的。 SEC 主任表示，批准這些平台的決定源於該國“需要創建一個包容性的金融體系”，考慮到年輕人對數位資產日益增長的興趣。

“It is crucial that we respond to the global trends in digital finance. SEC is committed to ensuring that Nigeria remains competitive and innovative in the global financial markets. We are building the necessary talent and infrastructure to manage the challenges and opportunities that these new asset classes present.”

「我們應對數位金融的全球趨勢至關重要。 SEC 致力於確保尼日利亞在全球金融市場上保持競爭力和創新能力。我們正在建立必要的人才和基礎設施，以應對這些新資產類別帶來的挑戰和機會。

The two recently approved exchanges are the only two crypto platforms licensed under the SEC’s regulations. Agama stated that the Commission has received “numerous applications” from the unregulated crypto exchanges operating in the country.

最近批准的兩家交易所是根據 SEC 法規獲得許可的僅有的兩家加密貨幣平台。 Agama 表示，委員會已收到來自該國運營的不受監管的加密貨​​幣交易所的「大量申請」。

Strict Regulations To Encourage Market Development

嚴格監管鼓勵市場發展

Despite this, the SEC’s Director clarified that the number of licensed platforms “would be determined by their ability to meet the commission’s strict regulatory standard.” He noted that it’s indispensable to provide a clear regulatory framework that “protects investors while encouraging innovation.”

儘管如此，美國證券交易委員會主任澄清說，獲得許可的平台數量「將取決於其滿足委員會嚴格監管標準的能力」。他指出，提供一個「保護投資者同時鼓勵創新」的明確監管框架是必不可少的。

Agama also highlighted that full disclosure, anti-money laundering (AML) measures, and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) protocols are key components of the SEC’s oversight of the crypto industry.

Agama 也強調，充分揭露、反洗錢 (AML) 措施和打擊恐怖主義融資 (CFT) 協議是 SEC 對加密貨幣行業監督的關鍵組成部分。

Per the report, the Commission is also working to safeguard Nigerians from misinformation and fraudulent activities within the digital market space. Moreover, the SEC suggested that crypto exchanges’ activities must be closely monitored “so they do not impede the economy” while encouraging the sector’s development.

根據該報告，委員會還致力於保護尼日利亞人免受數位市場領域的錯誤訊息和詐欺活動的影響。此外，美國證券交易委員會建議，必須密切監控加密貨幣交易所的活動，“以免它們阻礙經濟”，同時鼓勵該行業的發展。

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

“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 SEC’s Director reassured the Commission’s commitment to ensure the market operates under clear regulatory guidelines. Lastly, he emphasized the need for education and a “guided regulatory framework” to guarantee that crypto investors are well-informed and operate within Nigerian law.

美國證券交易委員會主任重申了委員會的承諾，即確保市場在明確的監管指導方針下運作。最後，他強調需要教育和“指導性監管框架”，以確保加密貨幣投資者消息靈通並在尼日利亞法律範圍內運作。

It’s worth noting that, despite the country’s “vision” to develop the growing industry, Nigerian authorities continue to receive backlash for their treatment of the detained Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan.

值得注意的是，儘管該國有發展不斷增長的行業的“願景”，但尼日利亞當局因對待被拘留的幣安高管蒂格蘭·甘巴揚 (Tigran Gambaryan) 的方式而繼續受到強烈反對。

As reported by Bitcoinist, the Binance vs. Nigeria saga has raised the alarm about the country’s measures to enforce the law against the industry. Gambaryan, who’s been detained since February, continues to be prosecuted while his health condition remains critical. The judgment on his bail application will be delivered on October 9.

根據 Bitcoinist 報道，幣安訴尼日利亞事件引發了對該國對該行業執法措施的警惕。甘巴揚自二月以來一直被拘留，儘管他的健康狀況仍然危急，但他仍在繼續受到起訴。對他的保釋申請的判決將於10月9日作出。
