In an effort to combat what it perceives as ongoing manipulation of the forex market and illicit fund movements, the Nigerian government has decided to stop the online platforms of prominent crypto firms, including Binance.

On Wednesday evening, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) instructed telecommunication companies in the country to restrict access to these platforms.

Forextime, OctaFX, Crypto, FXTM, Coinbase, and Kraken are among the other affected platforms.

Sources from the presidency and regulatory bodies indicate that the decision to target Binance and other crypto firms was driven by concerns related to currency speculation and money laundering activities.

The above acts, FG believed, contribute to the weakening of the naira.
