尼日利亚监管机构瞄准未经许可的加密平台

尼日利亚 SEC 最近表示打算对未经许可的加密平台实施监管。委员会旨在保护投资者、促进创新

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.

尼日利亚证券交易委员会（SEC）宣布计划对在该国运营的所有无证个人和商业实体（包括加密平台）实施严格监管。

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.

该机构最近透露了其对未经许可的加密平台实施监管的意图。该委员会的目标是保护投资者、促进创新并监管其监管框架之外的实体。

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:

据当地媒体 Nairametrics 报道，尼日利亚 SEC 总干事 Emomotimi Agama 在周日的一份声明中表示，不愿遵守委员会指导方针的商业机构将不被允许在该国运营：

“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。对于那些不想按规矩行事的人，我们不会允许他们在我们的空间内运作。”

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.

该决定是在最近原则上批准了 Quidax 和 Busha 两家加密货币交易所之后做出的。 SEC 主任表示，批准这些平台的决定源于该国“需要创建一个包容性的金融体系”，考虑到年轻人对数字资产日益增长的兴趣。

“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.”

“我们应对数字金融的全球趋势至关重要。 SEC 致力于确保尼日利亚在全球金融市场上保持竞争力和创新能力。我们正在建设必要的人才和基础设施，以应对这些新资产类别带来的挑战和机遇。”

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.

最近批准的两家交易所是根据 SEC 法规获得许可的仅有的两家加密货币平台。 Agama 表示，委员会已收到来自该国运营的不受监管的加密货币交易所的“大量申请”。

Strict Regulations To Encourage Market Development

严格监管鼓励市场发展

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.”

尽管如此，美国证券交易委员会主任澄清说，获得许可的平台数量“将取决于其满足委员会严格监管标准的能力”。他指出，提供一个“保护投资者同时鼓励创新”的明确监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 还强调，充分披露、反洗钱 (AML) 措施和打击恐怖主义融资 (CFT) 协议是 SEC 对加密货币行业监督的关键组成部分。

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.

根据该报告，委员会还致力于保护尼日利亚人免受数字市场领域的错误信息和欺诈活动的影响。此外，美国证券交易委员会建议，必须密切监控加密货币交易所的活动，“以免它们阻碍经济”，同时鼓励该行业的发展。

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

“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 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.

美国证券交易委员会主任重申了委员会的承诺，即确保市场在明确的监管指导方针下运作。最后，他强调需要教育和“指导性监管框架”，以保证加密货币投资者消息灵通并在尼日利亚法律范围内运作。

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，尽管该国有发展不断增长的行业的“愿景”，但尼日利亚当局因对待被拘留的币安高管蒂格兰·甘巴扬 (Tigran Gambaryan) 的方式而继续受到强烈反对。

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.

据 Bitcoinist 报道，币安诉尼日利亚事件引发了对该国对该行业执法措施的警惕。甘巴扬自二月份以来一直被拘留，尽管他的健康状况仍然危急，但他仍在继续受到起诉。对他的保释申请的判决将于10月9日作出。
