Nigeeria loob Bitcoini ja Krüpto erimajandustsooni

• Nigeria seeks to create a special economic zone for bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
• NEPZA is in discussion with Binance and Talent City to establish a partnership.
• The economic zone will reportedly mirror the Dubai Virtual Free Zone.

Nigeria is seeking to create the first economic free zone for bitcoin and cryptocurrency in West Africa through the Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), per a Pressiteade.

NEPZA arutab Binants, üks juhtivaid krüptovaluutade börse, samuti Talent City mis on spetsialiseerunud erimajandustsoonide rajamisele.

Our goal is to engender a flourishing virtual free zones to take advantage of a near trillion dollar virtual economy in blockchains and digital economy,” said Adesoji Adesugba, NEPZA’s managing director.

Lisaks selgitas NEPZA, et kui partnerlus sõlmitakse, peegeldab lõpptoode ettevõtte oma Dubai virtuaalne vabatsoon.

In fact, this past December, Binance entered into a Vastastikuse mõistmise memorandum with the Dubai World Trade Center. The memorandum intends to make Dubai a hub for bitcoin and cryptocurrency related products and services by creating a “new international virtual asset ecosystem.”

Eelmise aasta veebruaris andis Nigeeria keskpank välja a kiri banning regulated institutions from “dealing” with bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. Following the ban, Nigeria saw an uptick of 27% in peer-to-peer (P2P) bitcoin transactions across the country.

Tõepoolest, just eelmisel aastal sai Aafrikast tervikuna suurim riik P2P tehingud maailmas mahu järgi. Umbes samal ajal, Chainalysis reported a global adoption index which showed Nigeria in the top 10 countries worldwide for its adoption of bitcoin.

Moreover, as Dubai and Nigeria look to establish special economic zones to benefit bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, we can take a look at existing economic zones. For instance, the free city of jõukas on näide kohandatavast majandusraamistikust.
