Nigeria just dropped new stablecoin regs 🇳🇬
Key points:
• ANY stablecoin activity touching Nigeria's payments/forex/finance falls under local rules
• Doesn't matter if your company isn't physically there
• Existing operators get 180 days to apply for compliance
This is massive for African crypto adoption. Nigeria's been one of the hottest P2P markets globally - now they're formalizing stablecoin rails.
Expect $USDT/$USDC volumes to either explode (if regs are reasonable) or shift underground (if they're draconian).
Watch how Binance P2P and local exchanges respond. 180-day clock starts now.
