On BTC in Nigeria
AbdulFatai Khan, a key account officer at Moneipoint, shared his thoughts on Cryptocurrency.
He told Legit.ng:
“I will say that Bitcoin transactions have significant implications for Nigeria’s economy. You know they foster financial inclusion by providing access to financial services for the unbanked. Secondly, they also streamline remittances. Also, CBN’s recent regulatory guidelines towards digital assets shows a positive development in the financial sector. However, challenges related to regulation and security persist, and still require carefulness.”
