Global cryptocurrency platform Blockchain.com has said it is seeking to acquire a crypto exchange license from the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), even as it positions the country as its hub for African expansion.
Speaking in an interview with Nairametrics, Blockchain.com’s Country Head for Nigeria, Michael Emeeka, said the country was chosen as a hub not just for its market size but for its tech-savvy population and the pace of digital adoption.
According to him, the country’s strong crypto culture made it an obvious choice for Blockchain.com’s regional expansion.
