The beginning of the use of cryptocurrency and the blockchain , most country doesn't seems to buy into the idea of cryptocurrency, how ever after much confidence in the blockchain security a lot of country have begin to build on the Blockchain and accepting crypto currency. Nigeria is establishing a framework for widescale crypto adoption which would yield a possible outfit.

As the federal government fiscal and monetary policy is not allowing Forex transaction for some aspect or class of goods. Crypto currency has become a basis for easier uses than expected.
The minister for finance in Nigeria is being said to be in a way forward discussion with the country’s securities regulator to develop a new framework for the acceptances, accessibility and official recognition of the blockchain and cryptocurrencies -- which would see a rapid changes in the adoption, uses and growth.
Business Day, a Nigerian market intelligence newspaper, published onTuesday that the Ministry of Finance is working with the Abuja-based Securities and Exchange Commission ( a body saddled with regulating , securities ) to “provide a regulatory environment for blockchain” and digital assets. The publication cites Ministry adviser Amstrong Takang speaking at an industry event in Lagos on Tuesday. The regulation in this context is still skeptical as Nigeria as always believed in government regulations in financial matter, as a base of mass adoption the decentralisation of the crypto may be a challenge in adopting but people in Nigeria are more optimistic to use crypto as medium of international exchange , purchases store of value and investment.
According to SEC Nigeria:
“The general objective of regulation is not to hinder technology or stifle innovation, but to create standards that encourage ethical practices that ultimately make for a fair and efficient market.”
The securities exchange commission is still skeptical about control and have a fair market , which means it wary about the decentralized market which has no central as it may be. However Nigeria are excited to have their investment in crypto currency has the inflation persist .
