A meeting planned between key players in the blockchain industry and the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Emomotimi Agama, has been rescheduled. Originally set for 10 am on Monday, the virtual meeting will now take place at 2:30 pm.
The rescheduling was communicated via an email from the Public Relations Officer of Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria, Kue Paul. The meeting, organized by BICCoN, aims to address regulatory matters concerning the cryptocurrency space.
Reports suggest that during the meeting, the government might announce a temporary pause in peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto trading. This pause would allow for the development of comprehensive regulations for the sector. Additionally, there is speculation that the government will engage stakeholders to discuss potential new rules for better regulation of the cryptocurrency space.
