Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, took a significant step and pulled the Nigerian Naira from the P2P platform.         

全球最大的加密貨幣交易所幣安邁出了重要一步，將尼日利亞奈拉從 P2P 平台上撤下。

Removing the Nigerian currency, the Naira, from peer-to-peer (P2P) service again turned the sights of individuals towards the Binance exchange. The Nigerian government’s claim for $10 billion in compensation emerged as a major rationale behind Binance’s strict action. P2P platform permits individuals to trade, sell, or buy digital assets without third-party involvement. The platform became popular among Nigerians in 2021.           

將尼日利亞貨幣奈拉從點對點 (P2P) 服務中刪除，再次將個人的目光轉向了幣安交易所。尼日利亞政府要求 100 億美元的賠償成為幣安採取嚴格行動的主要原因。 P2P 平台允許個人在沒有第三方參與的情況下交易、出售或購買數位資產。該平台於 2021 年在尼日利亞人中流行起來。

Binance Vs. Nigeria: The whole story 

幣安VS。尼日利亞：整個故事

An aide to President Bola Tinubu said that Nigeria will demand cryptocurrency exchange Binance to pay $10 Billion for alleged damages caused to the government by its operations.

總統 Bola Tinubu 的一名助手錶示，奈及利亞將要求加密貨幣交易所幣安支付 100 億美元，因其營運對政府造成損害。

“This country suffered huge losses from their operations and the government is asking for a small amount from them,” said Bayo Onanuga, the president’s adviser on information and strategy. 

總統資訊和戰略顧問巴約·奧納努加 (Bayo Onanuga) 表示：“這個國家因他們的行動遭受了巨大損失，政府正在向他們索要少量資金。”

“We are demanding them to pay us nearly $10 billion in compensation because they really ruined our economy in a very short time,” he said.

「我們要求他們向我們支付近100億美元的賠償，因為他們確實在很短的時間內摧毀了我們的經濟，」他說。

Onanuga accused traders of using the crypto exchange to manipulate Nigeria’s currency, weakening the central bank, which he said is “the only authority that can fix the country’s exchange rates.” 

奧納努加指責交易員利用加密貨幣交易所操縱奈及利亞貨幣，削弱了奈及利亞央行，他表示央行是「唯一能夠確定該國匯率的機構」。

He verified reports earlier this week that two members of the Binance team “were detained when they came to Nigeria.”.

他證實了本週早些時候的報道，稱幣安團隊的兩名成員「在來到尼日利亞時被拘留」。

According to news publication Premium Times, Nigeria’s national security adviser’s office said law enforcement agencies and the central bank are investigating Binance’s operations in the country.

根據新聞媒體《Premium Times》報道，奈及利亞國家安全顧問辦公室表示，執法機構和央行正在調查幣安在該國的業務。

However, the exchange didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment from Semafor Africa.

不過，該交易所並未立即回覆 Semafor Africa 的置評請求。

Stepping back 

後退一步

It is not the first time Nigerian administrations have requested a huge amount from a foreign company for alleged breaches. Nigeria charged a $5.2 billion fine on South African telecoms company MTN for failing to disconnect 5 million unrecorded SIM cards. The company bargained the fine down to $980 million, which it paid in 2019.

這並不是尼日利亞政府第一次因涉嫌違規行為向外國公司索取巨額賠償。奈及利亞因未能斷開 500 萬張未記錄 SIM 卡而對南非電信公司 MTN 處以 52 億美元罰款。該公司透過討價還價將罰款降至 9.8 億美元，並於 2019 年支付。

Nigeria is facing low growth. Africa’s biggest economy increased by 2.7% last year, the lowest rate since the country’s recession in 2020, and the value of the nation’s naira currency has fallen in the wake of economic reforms presented since Tinubu took office last May.

尼日利亞正面臨低成長。這個非洲最大的經濟體去年增長了 2.7%，是該國 2020 年經濟衰退以來的最低增長率，自蒂努布去年 5 月上任以來實施經濟改革後，該國奈拉貨幣的價值已經下跌。
