The Digital Currency Coalition appreciates the positive efforts the Nigerian government is taking in creating a national blockchain Regulation. They praised the partnership between investors in the blockchain industry, which ensures the DCC establishes the regulations and frame work for crypto execution.
The coalition added that this inclusive method guarantees that the constitution and act become technical in nature.
