The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has denied instructing banks to restrict cryptocurrency accounts.
In a circular shared on social media, it was said that all deposit money banks (DMBs), non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs), and other financial institutions (OFIs) have been directed to identify persons and entities transacting in cryptocurrencies and ensure such accounts are put on post-no-debit (PND) instruction for six months.
Nonetheless, the apex bank in a statement released on Wednesday, April 24, said the circular shared online didn’t originate from the bank. The CBN also urged the public to visit its official web site for “genuine updates”.
