2026 PREDICTIONS: WHY THE "TAX NARRATIVE" IS THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW
The new tax laws are about to trigger a massive shift in the financial landscape. Here is a summary of what I’m expecting as a ripple effect of the new tax laws:
• THE WINNERS: Private accountants, tax lawyers, and "Tax KOLs" are about to see overnight wealth.
• TECH BOOM: Fintechs with tailor-made tax systems and AI-powered tax software will become the new market leaders.
• MARKET SHIFTS: The Nigerian Stock Market will explode via the "buy-borrow-die" concept, and we'll see rapid adoption of stablecoins and on-ramp tools.
• INFRASTRUCTURE: Financial infra will improve tremendously, though a "fintech fold-up" is coming once the initial euphoria settles.
• THE "DARK" SIDE: Tax evasion schemes will bank hard early on but crash due to internal greed. Public servant looting will peak between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027 ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
• VENTURE CAPITAL: Expect a VC explosion driven by problem-solving startups and "money laundering szn."
• GLOBAL INTEREST: High-profile acquisitions by Western companies looking for a slice of the Nigerian pie.
• REALITY CHECK: Cost of living will rise due to stricter VAT, and we’ll likely see high-profile hacks and tax-related legal prosecutions.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Those who position themselves ahead of the herd drive will win bigly as the Internet Capital Markets and stablecoin adoption will see a massive uptrend in the Nigerian market in 2026.

THE TAXMAN COMETH: HOW INTERNET CAPITAL MARKETS WILL TURN NIGERIA’S NEW LAWS INTO A WEALTH NARRATIVE
While everyone is complaining about the new 2026 tax laws, a small group of Nigerians are quietly building the infrastructure to become overnight millionaires. Most people see a 'witch-hunt.' I see the birth of the Internet Capital Market. Here are my 2026 predictions and playbook to winning bigly while the herd panics.
The following are my predictions and thoughts for the new year as concerns the Nigerian economy. This year, a new niche in the finance sector will explode due to these tax laws.
Private accountants will feast; finance and tax lawyers will become overnight millionaires; KOLs for the tax sector will emerge; and fintechs that integrate tailor-made tax management systems will become new market leaders. Builders who dev localised AI-powered tax software will eat, law enforcement will become more financially literate, and more Naira will come into circulation.
Tax evasion enterprises will initially "make a bank," but most will eventually be witch-hunted and crash due to greed and fighting themselves. Cost of living will increase due to the stricter VAT tax, the Government IGR will multiply, and public servants will loot hardest by Q4 2026 – Q1 2027 ahead of leaving office. Banks and black market exchanges will see an uptrend in volume, tax consultants will blow up, and stablecoins will get rapidly adopted as more on-ramp/off-ramp tools are built.
The Nigerian stock market will explode due to the "buy-borrow-die" tax evasion concept. The Nigerian financial infrastructure will tremendously improve and explode, though a large number of fintech startups will fold after the euphoria. The Nigerian Venture Capital market will explode due to the large number of startups that'll solve problems and because it's money laundering szn soon.
A couple of big financial institutions will be hacked and some will be public knowledge; there'll be some high-profile, tax-related legal prosecutions; and blockchain projects with smooth onboarding rails accurately building for Nigerian/African markets will explode. There'll be some high-profile acquisitions by Western companies who want to take a bite of the pie, and the Government will intensify tax education campaigns.
THE ENGINE: INTERNET CAPITAL MARKETS (ICM)
To make the most from this paradigm shift, you must understand the Internet Capital Market (ICM). This is the "internetization" of finance. Much like how the internet turned newspapers into blogs and TV into YouTube, ICMs are turning traditional capital markets into internet-native, permissionless protocols. It is a system where the blockchain serves as a 24/7 global clearinghouse, allowing assets to move at the speed of light [1.2].
1. Capital Without Permission
In traditional markets, raising funds requires "Gatekeepers"—banks and regulators. In an ICM, the internet is the clearinghouse. Founders in Lagos can launch tokens or raise capital directly from a global audience, bypassing the tedious mandates of traditional IPOs and the restrictive access to credit in the local economy [1.3].
2. The Power of Programmable Money
Assets in an ICM are "smart." Rules for tax deductions and collateralization are coded into the asset itself. This enables the "Buy-Borrow-Die" strategy: instead of selling your assets and triggering a tax event, you use them as collateral on platforms like Jupiter Lend or Aave to borrow stablecoins. This allows you to access cash while technically staying "broke" on paper to defer taxes [7.3].
3. Global Liquidity, Local Impact
ICMs connect the local Nigerian economy to a global pool of liquidity. This borderless flow is the primary tool for escaping 30%+ annual Naira inflation and the 10% withholding tax on foreign currency interest-bearing accounts typically triggered when using traditional banks and fintechs [2.1].
HOW NIGERIANS WILL BE ONBOARDED
To bridge the gap between the local economy and the ICM, three pillars must be met:
—> Dirt-Cheap Fees: Ecosystems like Solana have brought costs down to less than ₦10 per transaction, making the blockchain affordable for everyday retail users [3.2].
—> Lightning Speed: Onboarding happens when the blockchain feels like OPay or Kuda. Atomic settlement ensures trades clear in seconds, not days.
—> Local Payment Rails:
▪︎ Azza & Pajcash: These have evolved into primary on-ramp/off-ramp tools, serving as crypto-to-cash payment rails that allow businesses to settle invoices in stablecoins and withdraw Naira instantly to local accounts.
▪︎ Bitget: Their new feature allows direct CEX-to-bank transfers, bridging the gap between on-chain wealth and real-world spending [6.1].
ECOSYSTEMS LEADING THE ICM CHARGE
▪︎ Solana (The Retail Hub): @Solana Official Focused on high-throughput and consumer applications. Superteam Nigeria acts as the talent and onboarding catalyst, while Jupiter @Jupiter 🪐 serves as the full financial suite for seamless swaps, yields, and high-level trading [4.1].
▪︎ Base (The Professional Bridge): An Ethereum @Ethereum Layer 2 focused on security and institutional integration. Its Smart Wallets (utilizing biometrics and social login) are the entry point for non-tech professionals, allowing them to sign up without seed phrase stress [7.3].
▪︎ TRON (The Remittance King): @TRON DAO A high-speed network optimized for value transfer. Its TRC-20 USDT is the backbone of Nigerian street-level transfers and cross-border trade, supported by Yellow Card and Quidax [4.1, 6.2].
HOW ONBOARDING WILL BE ACHIEVED
☆ Abstraction (Invisible Blockchain): Users won't manage seed phrases. They will use apps that look like standard finance tools while the blockchain runs quietly in the background [7.3].
☆ P2P 2.0: As tax laws tighten, onboarding moves toward decentralized marketplaces and "stablecoin vouchers" to stay under the regulatory radar of traditional banks.
☆ The "Tax-Tech" Trojan Horse: Builders will create AI-powered tax software. To unlock features, businesses will pay a small fee in stablecoins, forcing wallet adoption as a business necessity.
LOCAL INNOVATION & HARD FACTS
Nigerian builders are constructing the plumbing for the new economy:
▪︎ NectarFi: Pioneering decentralized yield and liquidity management.
▪︎ Airbillspay: Integrating ICM utility into daily bills and utilities [4.1].
▪︎ Hyperbridge: Solving interoperability across chains, ensuring capital can seamlessly flow across all chains [5.1].
The Data: Nigeria received $59.1 Billion in on-chain value in 2025 alone [2.1]. Over 65% of this activity is in stablecoins, proving it's a tool for capital preservation, not just speculation [5.1, 6.2].
THE 2026 CRYPTO TAX REALITY (FIRS CLAUSE)
The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 have redefined the rules for the digital economy and here's how it affects Crypto Bros:
—> Personal Income Tax: Profits from digital asset transactions are now "chargeable gains" taxed up to 25% for individuals [2.1].
—> VAT on Assets: Digital assets are classified as "services," adding a 7.5% charge to transactions [2.2].
—> VASP Reporting: Exchanges and wallets (VASPs) are mandated to report transaction values and user details to the FIRS or face ₦10M+ penalties [2.1].
—> Loss Offsetting: Losses can only be deducted against gains from digital assets; they cannot offset your other income [2.2].
HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT
1. The Blockchain Newbie
The Play: Stop chasing "pump and dump" coins or attempting to "tap your screen" to riches through endless airdrop bots.
▪︎ The Strategy: Use the ICM as a Digital Dollar Savings Account. Hold USDT or USDC on decentralized yield platforms like NectarFi or Jupiter's JLP.
▪︎ The Win: You earn 5–15% annual yield in dollars while escaping 30%+ annual Naira inflation and the 10% withholding tax on foreign currency when using traditional banks and fintechs.
2. The OG Power User
The Play: Move from "trader" to "system builder."
▪︎ The Strategy: Use DeFi lending (Aave or Jupiter Lend) to collateralize your SOL or BTC. Instead of selling and paying a 25% tax, borrow USDC against your assets [7.1, 7.3].
▪︎ The Win: You maintain asset upside, stay liquid, and legally defer taxable events.
The 2026 "Zero-to-Hero" Playbook (Starting with ₦0)
If you have zero capital, your only asset is Proof of Work. Here are 5 ways you can earn in 2026 in the Web3 space:
1. The Bounty Hunter (Earn in USDC): Join Superteam Earn @superteamdao . Use your skills (writing, graphics, or code) to complete bounties paying $50 to $1,000+. This is your seed capital [4.1].
2. Learn & Earn Platforms: Use platforms like Binance Academy, Coinbase Earn, and CoinMarketCap @CoinMarketCap . They pay you in crypto just to watch educational modules and pass quizzes [1.1, 1.3].
3. Social Monetization: Join platforms like Farcaster, Baseapp, Zora, Binance Square, and Twitter. Build an audience and get monetized by explaining the "Tax Narrative." and other blockchain and finance concepts.
4. The Knowledge-Capital Collab: Lend your knowledge and expertise in your field to a friend who has liquidity to participate in narratives like prediction markets and split the rewards.
5. Referral Arbitrage: Use the referral programs of tools like Azza or Bitget. Refer business owners who need inflation hedging; their fees become your passive income.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
• Account Abstraction: A technology that simplifies the user experience by turning wallets into programmable accounts, enabling biometrics and social login without a seed phrase.
• Atomic Settlement: The instant and simultaneous transfer of assets and payment, ensuring no party is left unpaid during a trade.
• Buy-Borrow-Die: A wealth management strategy where an investor borrows against their assets for liquidity instead of selling them, thereby deferring capital gains tax.
• CEX (Centralized Exchange): A platform like Bitget or Quidax that acts as a middleman for buying and selling crypto.
• Interoperability: The ability of different blockchain networks to communicate and transfer value seamlessly between each other.
• P2P (Peer-to-Peer): Direct transactions between two individuals without a central intermediary.
• Smart Wallet: A crypto wallet controlled by code rather than just a private key, allowing for advanced security and easier onboarding.
• VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider): Any entity that provides commercial services related to digital assets, such as exchanges and custodians.

#tax #cryptotax #Nigeria #InternetCapitalMarkets #Finance
The following are my predictions and thoughts for the new year as concerns the Nigerian economy. This year, a new niche in the finance sector will explode due to these tax laws.
Private accountants will feast; finance and tax lawyers will become overnight millionaires; KOLs for the tax sector will emerge; and fintechs that integrate tailor-made tax management systems will become new market leaders. Builders who dev localised AI-powered tax software will eat, law enforcement will become more financially literate, and more Naira will come into circulation.
Tax evasion enterprises will initially "make a bank," but most will eventually be witch-hunted and crash due to greed and fighting themselves. Cost of living will increase due to the stricter VAT tax, the Government IGR will multiply, and public servants will loot hardest by Q4 2026 – Q1 2027 ahead of leaving office. Banks and black market exchanges will see an uptrend in volume, tax consultants will blow up, and stablecoins will get rapidly adopted as more on-ramp/off-ramp tools are built.
The Nigerian stock market will explode due to the "buy-borrow-die" tax evasion concept. The Nigerian financial infrastructure will tremendously improve and explode, though a large number of fintech startups will fold after the euphoria. The Nigerian Venture Capital market will explode due to the large number of startups that'll solve problems and because it's money laundering szn soon.
A couple of big financial institutions will be hacked and some will be public knowledge; there'll be some high-profile, tax-related legal prosecutions; and blockchain projects with smooth onboarding rails accurately building for Nigerian/African markets will explode. There'll be some high-profile acquisitions by Western companies who want to take a bite of the pie, and the Government will intensify tax education campaigns.
THE ENGINE: INTERNET CAPITAL MARKETS (ICM)
To make the most from this paradigm shift, you must understand the Internet Capital Market (ICM). This is the "internetization" of finance. Much like how the internet turned newspapers into blogs and TV into YouTube, ICMs are turning traditional capital markets into internet-native, permissionless protocols. It is a system where the blockchain serves as a 24/7 global clearinghouse, allowing assets to move at the speed of light [1.2].
1. Capital Without Permission
In traditional markets, raising funds requires "Gatekeepers"—banks and regulators. In an ICM, the internet is the clearinghouse. Founders in Lagos can launch tokens or raise capital directly from a global audience, bypassing the tedious mandates of traditional IPOs and the restrictive access to credit in the local economy [1.3].
2. The Power of Programmable Money
Assets in an ICM are "smart." Rules for tax deductions and collateralization are coded into the asset itself. This enables the "Buy-Borrow-Die" strategy: instead of selling your assets and triggering a tax event, you use them as collateral on platforms like Jupiter Lend or Aave to borrow stablecoins. This allows you to access cash while technically staying "broke" on paper to defer taxes [7.3].
3. Global Liquidity, Local Impact
ICMs connect the local Nigerian economy to a global pool of liquidity. This borderless flow is the primary tool for escaping 30%+ annual Naira inflation and the 10% withholding tax on foreign currency interest-bearing accounts typically triggered when using traditional banks and fintechs [2.1].
HOW NIGERIANS WILL BE ONBOARDED
To bridge the gap between the local economy and the ICM, three pillars must be met:
—> Dirt-Cheap Fees: Ecosystems like Solana have brought costs down to less than ₦10 per transaction, making the blockchain affordable for everyday retail users [3.2].
—> Lightning Speed: Onboarding happens when the blockchain feels like OPay or Kuda. Atomic settlement ensures trades clear in seconds, not days.
—> Local Payment Rails:
▪︎ Azza & Pajcash: These have evolved into primary on-ramp/off-ramp tools, serving as crypto-to-cash payment rails that allow businesses to settle invoices in stablecoins and withdraw Naira instantly to local accounts.
▪︎ Bitget: Their new feature allows direct CEX-to-bank transfers, bridging the gap between on-chain wealth and real-world spending [6.1].
ECOSYSTEMS LEADING THE ICM CHARGE
▪︎ Solana (The Retail Hub): @Solana Official Focused on high-throughput and consumer applications. Superteam Nigeria acts as the talent and onboarding catalyst, while Jupiter @Jupiter 🪐 serves as the full financial suite for seamless swaps, yields, and high-level trading [4.1].
▪︎ Base (The Professional Bridge): An Ethereum @Ethereum Layer 2 focused on security and institutional integration. Its Smart Wallets (utilizing biometrics and social login) are the entry point for non-tech professionals, allowing them to sign up without seed phrase stress [7.3].
▪︎ TRON (The Remittance King): @TRON DAO A high-speed network optimized for value transfer. Its TRC-20 USDT is the backbone of Nigerian street-level transfers and cross-border trade, supported by Yellow Card and Quidax [4.1, 6.2].
HOW ONBOARDING WILL BE ACHIEVED
☆ Abstraction (Invisible Blockchain): Users won't manage seed phrases. They will use apps that look like standard finance tools while the blockchain runs quietly in the background [7.3].
☆ P2P 2.0: As tax laws tighten, onboarding moves toward decentralized marketplaces and "stablecoin vouchers" to stay under the regulatory radar of traditional banks.
☆ The "Tax-Tech" Trojan Horse: Builders will create AI-powered tax software. To unlock features, businesses will pay a small fee in stablecoins, forcing wallet adoption as a business necessity.
LOCAL INNOVATION & HARD FACTS
Nigerian builders are constructing the plumbing for the new economy:
▪︎ NectarFi: Pioneering decentralized yield and liquidity management.
▪︎ Airbillspay: Integrating ICM utility into daily bills and utilities [4.1].
▪︎ Hyperbridge: Solving interoperability across chains, ensuring capital can seamlessly flow across all chains [5.1].
The Data: Nigeria received $59.1 Billion in on-chain value in 2025 alone [2.1]. Over 65% of this activity is in stablecoins, proving it's a tool for capital preservation, not just speculation [5.1, 6.2].
THE 2026 CRYPTO TAX REALITY (FIRS CLAUSE)
The Nigeria Tax Act 2025 and the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 have redefined the rules for the digital economy and here's how it affects Crypto Bros:
—> Personal Income Tax: Profits from digital asset transactions are now "chargeable gains" taxed up to 25% for individuals [2.1].
—> VAT on Assets: Digital assets are classified as "services," adding a 7.5% charge to transactions [2.2].
—> VASP Reporting: Exchanges and wallets (VASPs) are mandated to report transaction values and user details to the FIRS or face ₦10M+ penalties [2.1].
—> Loss Offsetting: Losses can only be deducted against gains from digital assets; they cannot offset your other income [2.2].
HOW YOU CAN BENEFIT
1. The Blockchain Newbie
The Play: Stop chasing "pump and dump" coins or attempting to "tap your screen" to riches through endless airdrop bots.
▪︎ The Strategy: Use the ICM as a Digital Dollar Savings Account. Hold USDT or USDC on decentralized yield platforms like NectarFi or Jupiter's JLP.
▪︎ The Win: You earn 5–15% annual yield in dollars while escaping 30%+ annual Naira inflation and the 10% withholding tax on foreign currency when using traditional banks and fintechs.
2. The OG Power User
The Play: Move from "trader" to "system builder."
▪︎ The Strategy: Use DeFi lending (Aave or Jupiter Lend) to collateralize your SOL or BTC. Instead of selling and paying a 25% tax, borrow USDC against your assets [7.1, 7.3].
▪︎ The Win: You maintain asset upside, stay liquid, and legally defer taxable events.

In Maiduguri Borno State many people still struggle to access digital finance. Most families share one smartphone while others depend on small torchlight phones. POS agents are the main way people send or receive money since bank branches are far and internet service is weak.
One shop owner told me simply. “Network no dey stable. Sometimes I wait hours just to confirm one transfer. Many customers prefer cash because they don’t trust the apps.” This shows how poor internet, low trust in banks, and lack of ID like NIN or BVN block people from using digital tools fully.
To cope communities depend on esusu or ajo savings groups and borrow from friends at the market. These systems help but they are limited.
Now imagine if people here could earn directly from the internet even small amounts weekly. That is where DAO Labs Social Mining comes in.
DAO Labs rewards people for simple online contributions like posting engaging and sharing knowledge. Instead of just likes you earn tokens that can be cashed out through local POS agents. For families this can mean money for school fees food or farm tools.
Even better communities can form mini DAOs to pool rewards and vote on projects like buying seeds repairing boreholes or setting up small shops. This is not just finance it is financial inclusion powered by the people.
With the right support crypto tools can turn phones into income streams and rebuild trust where banks fall short. @DAO Labs #Nigeria #DAOVERSE #FinancialInclusion

Nigeria sẽ triển khai sáng kiến trị giá 1,5 triệu đô la để thúc đẩy phát triển AI
Bộ trưởng Truyền thông, Đổi mới và Kinh tế số Nigeria, Bosun Tijani, đã công bố sáng kiến trị giá 1,5 triệu đô la để thúc đẩy sự phát triển Trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI) của đất nước.
Quỹ này, được hỗ trợ bởi Luminate, một tổ chức toàn cầu, sẽ được ra mắt vào ngày 7 tháng 10 tại Abuja.
Động thái này diễn ra sau khi Bộ này ra mắt Quỹ AI trị giá 61.780 đô la hợp tác với Google, vốn bị chỉ trích là không đủ để thúc đẩy cuộc cách mạng AI.
Tijani nhấn mạnh rằng chính phủ đang tập hợp các nguồn lực để hỗ trợ phát triển AI và quỹ mới này là một phần trong những nỗ lực rộng lớn hơn nhằm đảm bảo nhiều nguồn lực hơn.
Một sáng kiến khác, National Artificial Intelligence Trust, sẽ tập trung vào việc sử dụng ngôn ngữ địa phương trong quá trình phát triển AI, đảm bảo sự phát triển của AI là có đạo đức, an toàn và bền vững.

Prison Break Season One: Nigeria vs Binance
On February 26, 2024, the Nigerian government kidnapped two Binance executives who arrived in the country for negotiations regarding a claim that Binance initiated the speculations of Nigeria currency operations, which led to the fall of the naira.
The executives were accused of operating a business worth billions without proper registrations and documentation, leading to their kidnapping in Abuja, Nigeria. The government requested transaction data involving the Nigerian Naira and demanded the deletion of certain data from the Binance platform, but the executives insisted on being taken to their respective embassies before complying. The investigation was taken over by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Despite being under a 14-day remand order, one of the executives, Nadeem Anjarwalla, reportedly escaped from custody using a smuggled passport, prompting efforts for his arrest. The Office of the National Security Adviser confirmed the escape and stated that Anjarwalla fled Nigeria, leading to ongoing efforts, including collaboration with Interpol, to apprehend him. A Nigerian citizen living in the U.K, at the time of this write-up called in from London to contribute to a live radio session and said "he was happy that Anjarwalla escaped; it was wrong for two Binance executives to come for official negotiations on solving the matter but unexpectedly get kidnapped."
Many Nigerians believe that the Nigerian government criminally arrested these executives and wanted to get free money by imposing a fine on Binance worth $10 billion, thinking they would get a similar share as Binance recently agreed to pay the US government a fine of $4.3 billion. The corruption of the Nigerian government and the security agencies is believed to have been taken to an international level, thereby causing them a shocking embarrassment, as most Nigerians and knowledgeable users of Binance believed.
What is your take on this season film of the prison break? Do you think money has exchanged hands or the government is trying to play politics/tricks?

The executives were accused of operating a business worth billions without proper registrations and documentation, leading to their kidnapping in Abuja, Nigeria. The government requested transaction data involving the Nigerian Naira and demanded the deletion of certain data from the Binance platform, but the executives insisted on being taken to their respective embassies before complying. The investigation was taken over by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Despite being under a 14-day remand order, one of the executives, Nadeem Anjarwalla, reportedly escaped from custody using a smuggled passport, prompting efforts for his arrest. The Office of the National Security Adviser confirmed the escape and stated that Anjarwalla fled Nigeria, leading to ongoing efforts, including collaboration with Interpol, to apprehend him. A Nigerian citizen living in the U.K, at the time of this write-up called in from London to contribute to a live radio session and said "he was happy that Anjarwalla escaped; it was wrong for two Binance executives to come for official negotiations on solving the matter but unexpectedly get kidnapped."
Many Nigerians believe that the Nigerian government criminally arrested these executives and wanted to get free money by imposing a fine on Binance worth $10 billion, thinking they would get a similar share as Binance recently agreed to pay the US government a fine of $4.3 billion. The corruption of the Nigerian government and the security agencies is believed to have been taken to an international level, thereby causing them a shocking embarrassment, as most Nigerians and knowledgeable users of Binance believed.
What is your take on this season film of the prison break? Do you think money has exchanged hands or the government is trying to play politics/tricks?

Nigeria bơm 543,5 triệu đô la để hỗ trợ đồng Naira
Ngân hàng Trung ương Nigeria (CBN) đã bơm 543,5 triệu đô la vào thị trường ngoại hối Nigeria từ ngày 6 đến ngày 30 tháng 9 để giải quyết tình trạng biến động tiền tệ. Ngân hàng này cho rằng tình trạng biến động này là do nhu cầu nhập khẩu cao và các yếu tố theo mùa. Nigeria đang phải đối mặt với tình trạng thiếu hụt ngoại hối và chính phủ đã thực hiện nhiều biện pháp để chống lại tình trạng này, bao gồm hạn chế rút tiền ngoại tệ và cân nhắc bán dầu bằng đồng nội tệ.
Nhu cầu đô la theo mùa làm suy yếu Naira
Từ ngày 6 đến ngày 30 tháng 9, Ngân hàng Trung ương Nigeria (CBN) đã bán 543,5 triệu đô la cho các đại lý được ủy quyền để hỗ trợ đồng tiền biến động của đất nước. Omolara Duke, giám đốc thị trường tài chính của ngân hàng, cho biết trong một tuyên bố rằng CBN đã bán ngoại tệ vào 11 thời điểm khác nhau với tỷ giá hối đoái từ 1.530 NGN đến 1.605 NGN cho một đô la.
Duke cho biết CBN đã bơm nhiều ngoại tệ nhất vào thị trường vào ngày 26 tháng 9, bán được 80 triệu đô la. Ba ngày trước đó, ngân hàng đã bán được ít đô la nhất trong tháng: 17,5 triệu đô la.
Bình luận về việc bán ngoại hối giao ngay cho các tổ chức tài chính được chấp thuận, Duke cho biết:
Các đợt bán giao ngay FX nhằm mục đích giảm bớt sự biến động của thị trường được quan sát thấy do nhu cầu nhập khẩu hàng hóa và nhu cầu theo mùa đối với FX. Ngày có giá trị cho tất cả các giao dịch là T+2. CBN sẽ tiếp tục tạo điều kiện cung cấp FX vào Thị trường ngoại hối Nigeria (NFEM) như một phần của chiến lược Quản lý FX toàn diện của mình.
Việc CBN tiết lộ số lượng đô la Mỹ được bơm vào thị trường Nigeria diễn ra vào thời điểm đất nước này đang phải vật lộn với tình trạng thiếu hụt ngoại tệ. Ngân hàng trung ương cho rằng nguyên nhân là do nhu cầu về hàng hóa khan hiếm này tăng đột biến. Để chống lại tình trạng này, chính phủ Nigeria đã đưa ra một loạt các biện pháp bao gồm hạn chế số lượng ngoại tệ mà cư dân có thể mang ra khỏi đất nước.
Theo báo cáo gần đây của Bitcoin.com News, Nigeria đã cân nhắc bán dầu thô bằng đồng nội tệ để giảm bớt áp lực lên đồng naira. Tuy nhiên, các báo cáo gần đây cho rằng kế hoạch này vẫn chưa được triển khai do bất đồng về giá cả.
Nigeria cũng đã đưa ra các biện pháp hạn chế hoạt động của các sàn giao dịch tiền điện tử toàn cầu cũng như truy quét những kẻ buôn bán tiền tệ bất hợp pháp. Tuy nhiên, các bước đi này nhìn chung đã không thể ổn định được đồng naira đã mất giá hơn 60% vào năm 2024.

DOJ tìm cách trả lại hàng triệu USD tiền điện tử cho nạn nhân vụ lừa đảo dầu khí 97 triệu USD
Bộ Tư pháp Mỹ (#DOJ ) đang nỗ lực thu hồi 7,1 triệu USD tiền điện tử để trả lại cho các nạn nhân của một vụ lừa đảo đầu tư dầu khí trị giá 97 triệu USD. Một người đàn ông ở Washington, Geoffrey Auyeung, đã bị cáo buộc rửa tiền từ kế hoạch này.
Rửa tiền qua ví crypto và truy vết blockchain
Các công tố viên cho biết, số tiền lừa đảo được hứa hẹn từ việc cho thuê kho chứa dầu khí đã được chuyển qua các công ty bình phong, tài khoản ngân hàng Mỹ, tài khoản nước ngoài và ít nhất 19 ví tiền điện tử, một số liên quan đến IP và sàn giao dịch ở Nga, #Nigeria .
Vụ án này cho thấy tội phạm ngày càng sử dụng tiền điện tử trong các mạng lưới lừa đảo và rửa tiền quốc tế, đặc biệt ở những khu vực có quy định lỏng lẻo. Nó cũng chứng minh việc DOJ ngày càng dựa vào truy vết blockchain để thu hồi tài sản liên quan đến tội phạm tài chính xuyên quốc gia. Andrew Lunardi từ Immutable nhận định, việc truy vết trên blockchain công khai thường dễ hơn tài chính truyền thống nhờ bản ghi giao dịch bất biến.
Cuộc điều tra của DOJ phát hiện Auyeung kiểm soát một mạng lưới các công ty giả mạo để che giấu nguồn gốc tiền. Anh ta bị cáo buộc đã chuyển tiền của nạn nhân qua hơn 80 tài khoản ngân hàng và gần 20 ví tiền điện tử, cuối cùng chuyển đổi thành $BTC , $ETH , Tether và $USDC , một số giao dịch đi qua các sàn Gemini và Binance ở Mỹ.

Mapping Nigeria's Unstapped Crypto Economy with Daolabs
In #Nigeria , fintech thrives in Lagos and Abuja, yet many rural and peri-urban areas remain locked out of digital finance. These underserved zones hold the true heartbeat of our economy: farmers, traders, artisans, and youths battling daily inflation without access to tools that could help them thrive.
📍 Case Study: Northern Nigeria (Kano & Jigawa)
Here, smartphone use is low, mobile banking often fails, and crypto wallets are barely known. People still rely on esusu (informal contribution groups) or borrowing by trust. Barriers like high internet costs, limited literacy, and mistrust in digital systems keep communities excluded.
🔎 Local voices:
“Network dey fail anytime we wan use POS.”
“Crypto? I hear say na only for Lagos boys.”
“We just use the contribution box for our market.”
The message is clear: digital finance hasn’t reached them.
✨ DAO Labs & #SocialMiningV2
@DAO Labs is creating a borderless financial culture where people own their growth. With Social Mining, communities in Kano and Jigawa can contribute skills, share knowledge, or support local initiatives and earn crypto rewards directly. No banks, no gatekeepers.
Imagine:
A farmer posting crop prices in a DAO hub and earning $AITECH.
A youth trained with DAO Labs kits is becoming a local crypto educator.
Communities replacing fragile esusu boxes with secure digital cooperatives.
📊 Why It Matters
Global digital assets over inflation-heavy naira.
Empowered youth through education + earning.
Local economies strengthened by decentralized rails.
💡 Vision
With DAO Labs’ Social Mining, Nigeria’s underserved zones won’t just join the digital economy, they’ll own it.
🌟 Conclusion
Kano’s markets and Jigawa’s farmlands are not just underserved; they’re future hubs of decentralized wealth. DAO Labs can turn today’s financial deserts into tomorrow’s innovation oases.
Lighting up Nigeria with inclusion, opportunity, and community-powered growth.

Nigeria Khủng Hoảng Kinh Tế: Crypto Trở Thành Cứu Cánh Mới?
Nigeria đang đối mặt với một cuộc khủng hoảng kinh tế nghiêm trọng, khi lạm phát đạt đỉnh 24,48% vào tháng 1/2025 trước khi giảm nhẹ xuống 23,18% vào tháng 2. Tuy nhiên, sự giảm này chủ yếu do điều chỉnh cách tính chỉ số giá tiêu dùng (CPI), không phản ánh sự cải thiện thực tế. Đồng naira cũng mất giá 230% so với USD trong một năm qua, gây ra khủng hoảng sinh hoạt nghiêm trọng.
Trong bối cảnh này, crypto đang trở thành giải pháp bảo vệ tài sản cho người dân Nigeria. Theo Chainalysis, từ tháng 7/2023 đến tháng 6/2024, giao dịch tiền điện tử tại Nigeria đạt 59 tỷ USD.
Chính phủ Nigeria đang thắt chặt quản lý crypto bằng cách hợp pháp hóa và đánh thuế. Ủy ban Chứng khoán Nigeria (SEC) đang xây dựng khung pháp lý cho giao dịch tài sản số, trong khi Ngân hàng Trung ương Nigeria (CBN) cố gắng ổn định tỷ giá và khôi phục niềm tin nhà đầu tư.
Dù crypto giúp người dân chống lạm phát, Nigeria vẫn phải cân bằng giữa đổi mới công nghệ và kiểm soát rủi ro tài chính để tránh chỉ coi crypto là giải pháp tạm thời.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous ...Le Nigeria est l'un des pays les plus actifs en matière d'adoption et d'utilisation des cryptomonnaies en Afrique, voire dans le monde. Voici quelques points à souligné :
1. Adoption des cryptomonnaies
- Le Nigeria est l'un des leaders mondiaux en termes d'adoption des cryptomonnaies. Selon plusieurs rapports, le pays se classe régulièrement parmi les premiers en matière de volume de transactions en crypto.
- Les cryptomonnaies sont populaires auprès des jeunes Nigérians, qui les utilisent pour des transferts d'argent, des investissements et comme protection contre l'inflation et la dépréciation de la monnaie locale, le naira.
2. Raisons de la popularité
- Inflation et dépréciation du naira : La monnaie nigériane a connu une dépréciation significative ces dernières années, poussant les citoyens à se tourner vers des actifs alternatifs comme les cryptomonnaies pour préserver leur épargne.
- Transferts d'argent : Les cryptomonnaies sont utilisées pour envoyer et recevoir de l'argent à l'étranger, contournant les frais élevés et les délais des systèmes traditionnels de transfert.
- Accès limité aux services bancaires : Une partie de la population nigériane n'a pas accès aux services bancaires traditionnels, ce qui rend les cryptomonnaies attrayantes pour les transactions financières.
3. Régulation et interdictions
- En février 2021, la Banque centrale du Nigeria (CBN) a interdit aux institutions financières de faciliter les transactions en cryptomonnaies, invoquant des préoccupations liées à la stabilité financière, au blanchiment d'argent et au financement du terrorisme.
- Malgré cette interdiction, les Nigérians continuent d'utiliser les cryptomonnaies via des plateformes peer-to-peer (P2P) comme Binance...
Bref, le #Nigeria est un acteur majeur dans l'espace des cryptomonnaies, malgré les défis réglementaires et économiques. L'adoption continue de croître, et les cryptomonnaies pourraient jouer un rôle clé dans l'avenir financier du NIGERIA .Merci les gars
