尼日利亚证券交易委员会主席警告在其监管范围之外运营的实体将面临执法行动

尼日利亚证券交易委员会（SEC尼日利亚）主席表示，该机构将对在其监管权限之外运营的实体采取行动。

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.

尼日利亚证券交易委员会（SEC）宣布计划对未经监管机构批准而在数字资产领域运营的实体采取行动。

 

 

“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.

“我们肯定会对任何想要在这个市场上经营但无意受到监管的人采取执法行动。那些不想按规矩行事的人将不被允许在我们的空间内开展业务，”尼日利亚 SEC 总干事 Emomotimi Agama 博士说道。

 

 

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，美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 已“原则上批准”两家数字资产交易所，使其根据加速监管孵化计划 (ARIP) 于 2024 年 8 月 29 日开始运营。

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 本身于 2024 年 6 月 21 日宣布，SEC 规定了一个 30 天的窗口期，在此期间数字资产运营商必须申请该计划或采取风险执法行动。除了 2 家交易所外，该计划还批准了另外 5 家运营商，同时更多申请将根据具体情况继续予以考虑，因为它们符合 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.

自称加密货币爱好者的 Emomotimi 博士表示，当地加密货币市场价值超过 4 亿美元，33.4% 的尼日利亚人使用或拥有加密货币。因此，监管虚拟资产行业的举措是出于这种日益增长的兴趣和保护投资者的需要。

 

 

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

埃莫莫蒂米博士还表示，该行业需要监控，以免阻碍尼日利亚经济。

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

阿加玛表示：“我们力求在不妨碍创新的情况下完成所有这些工作，因为作为 SEC，我们的主要职责之一就是市场开发。”

 

 

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.

尼日利亚 SEC 采取的监管行动让人想起南非采取的策略，南非金融部门行为监管局 (FSCA) 一直在根据具体情况向虚拟资产服务提供商颁发许可证。

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 迄今为止已向约 138 家公司颁发了运营许可证，并正在对该国境内未经授权的加密货币相关金融服务进行 30 项调查。

“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.”

“为了保护公众并支持行业公平，FSCA 将果断采取行动打击非法 CASP。 FSCA 将公布调查结果，如果发现未注册的加密业务，将发布警告。”

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 警告称，此类平台正在协助欺诈者利用在加密货币交易所的银行开设的多个账户进行诈骗，作为其欺诈活动的一部分，以避免被发现。

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.

同样，南非税务局（SARS）已开始使用从一些获得许可的加密资产交易所获得的信息向加密货币交易者发出税务通知。
