BTCCSquare news:

Nigeria has introduced stringent tax reforms targeting cryptocurrency transactions, mandating the linkage of all crypto activities to Tax Identification Numbers (TINs) and National Identity Numbers (NINs). The MOVE aims to enhance transparency while preserving blockchain security. Under the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025, virtual asset service providers must now collect comprehensive customer data—including names, addresses, TINs, and NINs—and submit monthly reports to tax authorities.

Large or suspicious transactions will be flagged, bringing Nigeria's previously unregulated crypto markets under formal oversight. The policy reflects a global trend of governments seeking to harness cryptocurrency activity for revenue generation without stifling innovation.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
