尽管尼日利亚在2024年清除了海上交易所，但尼日利亚已承诺支持数字资产行业

尽管它在2024年清除了离岸交易所以及持续的815亿美元针对Binance的诉讼，但尼日利亚已承诺支持数字资产行业

Nigeria is planning to continue supporting the digital asset sector despite its recent purge of offshore exchanges and the $81.5 billion lawsuit against Binance.

尼日利亚仍计划继续支持数字资产行业，尽管它最近清除了海上交易所以及针对Binance的815亿美元诉讼。

The West African nation is the continent’s largest digital asset market and one of the world leaders in adoption. However, recent enforcement actions, which led to the shutdown of global exchanges like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and KuCoin, dampened the sector, leading to a drastic dip in stablecoin volume last year.

西非国家是大陆最大的数字资产市场，也是领养的世界领导人之一。但是，最近的执法行动导致了Coinbase（Nasdaq：Coin）和Kucoin等全球交流的关闭，使该行业抑制了该行业，导致去年Stablecoin量的大幅下降。

In February, the government also filed a lawsuit against Binance, demanding $79 billion for economic losses and $2 billion in back taxes, which would be the biggest fine in the sector.

2月，政府还提起诉讼，对二元诉讼，要求790亿美元的经济损失和20亿美元的后税，这将是该行业最大的罚款。

Still, the government is committed to promoting the growth of the digital asset sector, says Information Minister Mohammed Idris.

信息部长穆罕默德·伊德里斯（Mohammed Idris）表示，尽管如此，政府仍致力于促进数字资产行业的增长。

In an interview with Semafor, Idris said the government is out to protect investors, “not to cripple anybody.” He added that no VASP will be allowed to operate in Nigeria without the proper licensing, whatever the company size.

伊德里斯在接受Semafor采访时说，政府正在保护投资者：“不要削弱任何人。”他补充说，无论公司规模如何，没有适当的许可，就不会允许在尼日利亚运营。

Binance has since accused the government of overreach and demanding $150 million in bribes to release the exchange’s official Tigran Gambaryan, who was detained for eight months.

此后，Binance指责政府涉嫌超越，并要求1.5亿美元的贿赂释放交易所的官方Tigran Gambaryan，后者被拘留了八个月。

In an interview with Blockworks earlier this year, Binance CEO Richard Teng stated that the actions of the Nigerian government against the exchange “were not warranted.” He added that the exchange had tried to work with the government, but Nigeria was not interested in an amicable resolution.

Binance首席执行官Richard Teng在今年早些时候接受Blockworks的采访时说，尼日利亚政府对交易所的行动“不保证”。他补充说，交易所试图与政府合作，但尼日利亚对友好的决议不感兴趣。

However, as other officials have done previously, Minister Idris dismissed Binance’s claims as mere antics to strong-arm the government.

但是，正如其他官员以前所做的那样，伊德里斯部长驳回了毕业生的说法仅仅是对政府强部队的滑稽动作。

“There are other companies operating in the crypto sector in Nigeria, you don’t see them [facing charges],” Idris said.

伊德里斯说：“尼日利亚的加密货币部门中还有其他公司，您看不到[面临指控]。”

The government has since implemented a new licensing framework for VASPs, issuing its first pair of licenses to local exchanges Busha and Quidax in 2024. Another batch of applications are being fast-tracked to be issued this year.

此后，政府已为VASP实施了新的许可框架，于2024年向本地交易所Busha和Quidax颁发了第一对许可证。今年正在快速签发一批申请。

The country is also targeting a much bigger settlement. For context, the $81 billion the government is demanding is more than twice Nigeria’s 2024 budget. The total penalty could be bigger as Binance faces another court case for facilitating money laundering.

该国还针对更大的解决方案。就背景而言，政府要求的810亿美元是尼日利亚2024年预算的两倍以上。由于Binance面临另一个法院促进洗钱的案件，总罚款可能会更大。

The report: 59% drop in cash usage

报告：现金使用率下降了59％

Despite the recent rocky phase with the country’s digital currency journey, Nigeria’s digital payments have skyrocketed in the past decade, a new report shows.

一份新报告显示，尽管该国的数字货币之旅最近有岩石阶段，但在过去的十年中，尼日利亚的数字支付却飙升。

According to the report by Ohio-based fintech firm Worldpay, cash payments in the country dropped by 59% between 2014 and 2024, the largest drop among cash-reliant major economies.

根据总部位于俄亥俄州的金融科技公司WorldPay的报告，该国的现金支付在2014年至2024年之间下降了59％，这是现金依赖的主要经济体中最大的下降。

The report, titled "Global Payments Report 2024," further projects that cash payments will drop another 32% by 2030. Worldpay analyzed 40 economies representing nearly 90% of global GDP.

该报告的标题为“全球付款报告2024”，进一步预测，到2030年，现金支付将再下降32％。WorldPay分析了40个经济体，占全球GDP的近90％。

"The report reveals a mixed picture for cash across the 40 economies, with some seeing a steeper decline than others," the report reads.

该报告写道：“该报告揭示了40个经济体现金的一幅混合图片，有些人的幅度比其他经济体更急剧下降。”

"The five economies with the largest decrease in cash share of total payments are Nigeria, Indonesia, the Philippines, Mexico and Vietnam."

“五个经济体的现金总额减少最大的经济体是尼日利亚，印度尼西亚，菲律宾，墨西哥和越南。”

The report adds that Nigeria’s digital payment revolution has been propelled by a combination of fintech innovations, mobile money adoption and enabling regulations.

该报告补充说，尼日利亚的数字支付革命是由金融科技创新，采用移动资金和促成法规的结合所推动的。

"While still a cash-reliant society, smaller day-to-day payments are increasingly being made digitally, supported by the rapid development of fintech in recent years," the report said of the West African nation.

该报告谈到西非国家时说：“虽然仍然是现金依赖的社会，但近年来金融科技的快速发展的支持，越来越多的日常付款正在以数字方式进行。”

The country’s central bank launched the eNaira in 2021, making it the first in Africa and one of the first in the world. However, the initiative has since failed to gain the intended traction, leading to the rise of two new local stablecoins.

该国的中央银行于2021年推出了Enaira，使其成为非洲的第一个，也是世界上第一个。但是，此后，该倡议未能获得预期的牵引力，从而导致了两个新的本地稳定者的兴起。
