No. of Paragraph 20

One of Nigeriaโ€™s leading fintech companies, OPay, has warned its customers against trading in cryptocurrency or any virtual currency on its app.

The company, in a notice issued on Friday, said it would block any account found engaging in such trading and also forward the details of the account owner to the regulator.

This comes as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) continues to beam its searchlights on fintech companies in the country. Earlier, the CBN had directed OPay, Moniepoint, Palmpay, and Kuda Bank to stop onboarding new customers.

OPayโ€™s warning comes as Nigeriaโ€™s National Security Adviser (NSA) is reported to have classified crypto trading as a national security issue. According to the CEO of Moniepoint, Tosin Eniolorunda, the classification means a new crypto regulation that will ban peer-to-peer trading of cryptocurrencies is in the works.
