Nigerian Lawmakers Urged to Consider Regulating Crypto Industry After Proposal to Jail Ponzi Operators

Ihenyen, who heads the Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria , however, concedes that while the proposed bill does not expressly mention or refer to digital currencies, crypto Ponzi schemes are included in what the lawmakers call “prohibited schemes.” The bill prohibits Ponzi/Pyramid Schemes as well as other illegal investment schemes and prescribes a jail term of not less than 10 years for promoters of such schemes.

The tricky part with most so-called crypto Ponzi schemes, however—which I must point out—is that many of these so-called ‘crypto ponzis’ have nothing to do with crypto, except that crypto was used to collect the unsuspecting participants’ funds, just the same way these bad actors could have used fiat currencies.

Nigeria has already ordered all the bank account that is crypto related in the county to be closed. It's good to make a law against Ponzi schemes but cryptocurency isn't Ponzi. Cryptocurency can be regulated but ban isn't in anyone's interest. Nigeria has already launched CBDC

Well I'll say! We have binance with a trillionaire founder running around the world scamming people left and right!
