Binance restricts 281 Nigerian accounts

Many Nigerians trading inside the Binance platform have complained about the inability to initiate or complete transactions. Binance Holdings Ltd. announced on January 31 that it was restricting the personal accounts of some Nigerian users.

According to the exchange, this was done to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and to ensure the safety of the platform as a whole for traders.

This is not the first time Nigerian users have faced problems when trading cryptocurrency. Last year, for example, Nigeria's central bank asked lenders not to make transactions on cryptocurrency exchanges and even ordered digital currency traders to block these accounts.

"Protection mechanisms such as KYC, anti-money laundering measures, collaboration with law enforcement, and account restrictions are in place to ensure our community remains protected and that fraudulent activity is prevented," the exchange officials say on the website.

The publication also says that 281 Nigerian have been restricted. More than a third of them were blocked at the request of the regulatory authorities.

Despite this and similar restrictions, Nigerians continue to use virtual currencies, primarily to hedge inflation and the decline of the Naira, Nigeria's national currency, as well as for easy international money transfers.

According to a Statista survey last year, Nigerians own the highest per capita share of such assets in the world.

Binance has managed to lift restrictions on 79 accounts. Going forward, the company plans to employ more customer service staff and risk agents to speed up the resolution process.

"All non-law enforcement-related cases will be resolved within two weeks," the statement said.

Thus, Binance has consolidated all insurance funds against damage caused by cybercriminals to network users into one fund. The market value of it is estimated at $1 trillion.

2025年4月25日星期五波卡(Polkadot)加密貨幣的日內價格變動技術分析。

儘管隨著隨機震盪指標已經位於超買區(80)以上,目前仍然在WMA(30 Shift 2)上方運行,這表明偏向仍為多頭。然而,根據隨機震盪指標的情況,顯示近期Polkadot有可能出現走弱調整,至4.0733的水平。

Solana 加密貨幣 2025 年 4 月 25 日(星期五)盤中價格波動的技術分析。

儘管目前Solana加密貨幣處於強勢狀態,其價格在WMA(30 Shift 2)上方運行,但由於Solana價格走勢與隨機震盪指標之間出現背離,同時隨機指標也處於超買水平(80)以上,並正在準備跌至該水平以下,這些跡象表明在不久的將來,它可能會回調至145.25的水平。然而,只要下跌不跌破並收盤低於141.02的水平,Solana仍有可能再次增強,154.50的水平將嘗試向上突破,如果成功,Solana將繼續強勢至156.51的主要目標,如果增強的波動性和動能支持,159.60將成為下一個目標。

比特幣成功突破90,000美元,而以太坊在短短一天內上漲超過10%,回升至1,800美元。 主要的催化劑是昨天唐納德·特朗普的一則聲明,他明確表示解除傑羅姆·鮑威爾作為美聯儲主席的職位並不是他的目標。

4月22日加密貨幣市場的交易建議

比特幣重回88,000美元區域,但以太坊面臨挑戰 昨天美國交易時段中的拋售潮,再次因美國股票指數下跌引發,比特幣買家進行了抵消,而以太坊在低點附近卻顯得乏人問津。顯然,在關於美國經濟衰退即將到來的討論不斷增加,以及美國聯邦準備理事會主席傑羅姆·鮑威爾面臨繼續降息的壓力之下,對加密貨幣的需求仍然受到抑制。

4月21日加密貨幣市場交易建議

比特幣和以太坊在經歷整個周末的橫盤整理後,於今天的亞洲交易時段大幅上漲。 此次上漲是由於謠傳美國聯邦儲備委員會主席Jerome Powell可能被免職的消息引發的——這一事件將進一步加劇目前撼動美國經濟的動盪,導致美元出現強烈的拋售,進一步削弱了投資者對綠幣的信心。
