Nigerian authorities continue to deal with a legal dispute between the government and cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

The crypto exchange ran into trouble last year when the Nigerian government accused the company’s heads of undermining the value of Nigerian national currency with their unlawful cryptocurrency operations.

Two of Binance’s employees have been detained by the Nigerian government, and their plight within the country has captured international news. The Nigerian blockchain committee is now telling the authorities that the ongoing legal matter could damage the country’s reputation.

Nigeria is placing itself on the world stage, with many different parties concerned about how the government is treating the captured Binance employees. The two Binance employees are being held in order that they might represent Binance and take the blame for the actions of the company within Nigeria.

The Nigerian blocking industry is being represented by BICCoN, and they are asking that the government be careful with its resolution to the problem, as the government’s actions could have a serious impact on the ecosystem of blockchain for Nigeria, and the country’s reputation could be severely damaged.

BICCoN is calling on the government to resolve the issue fairly and with as much transparency as possible in order to minimize the damage.

How Could Nigeria Suffer?

According to the Nigerian government, Binance has caused extensive damage to the country’s economy and the value of its money. But there could be more damage to come as a result of how the case is handled.

If the matter is not dealt with delicately, then cryptocurrency investors may stay away from Nigeria for the foreseeable future. There are many business ventures that Nigeria would miss out on as a result.

If Nigerian authorities were to change their method of operation, they could deal with concerns about the case and lay some fears to rest. The country is already going through a period of high inflation and economic depression, and they have to be careful about chasing away potential investors.
