SIBAN’s executive secretary, Rume Ophi, stressed that Binance should reveal names to substantiate the claim and allow authorities to address wrongdoing.
Nigerian cryptocurrency stakeholders are demanding that Binance reveal the identity of the agent who approached them with a bribe. They state that this revelation, if given, would substantiate their allegations.
In separate interviews with Cointelegraph, local crypto stakeholders said the bribery allegation from Binance could negatively affect the country’s image if not handled properly.
According to Rume Ophi, the executive secretary of the Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SiBAN), the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC)’s body language during the May 6 meeting showed that the government is willing to make the crypto industry work.
