Nigeria Probes Binance Over $26B In Suspicious Crypto Flows

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has dismissed reports of his cryptocurrency exchange being blocked by Nigerian authorities. He emphasized on X that Coinbase products are fully operational in Nigeria without any interruptions. “We haven’t received any outreach or communication from officials in Nigeria,” Brian Armstrong affirmed. 

Meanwhile, Binance has reportedly admitted that some users in Nigeria are experiencing issues accessing its platform. This comes after the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) allegedly instructed telecoms companies earlier this week to restrict consumer access to the websites of major crypto exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.
