Forex: FG to delist naira from P2P platforms
The Federal Government is set to delist the naira from all Peer-to-Peer platforms to reduce the manipulation of the local currency value in the foreign exchange market.
Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Emomotimi Agama, made this known on Monday at a virtual conference with blockchain stakeholders.
The goal of this resolution is to combat manipulation of the value of the local currency in the foreign exchange market.
In past months, the nation’s regulatory bodies have started looking into and closely examining cryptocurrency exchanges.
This is part of a number of regulations to be rolled out in the coming days.
He said, “That is one of the things that must be done to save this space. The delisting of the naira from the P2P platforms to avoid the level of manipulation that is currently happening.
“I want your cooperation in dealing with this as we roll out regulations in the coming days.”
The SEC DG decried how some market players were manipulating the value of the naira.
This, he said, was why the commission was “seeking collaboration and help in making sure that the crypto environment is respected globally”.
