CBN stopped Davido’s Crypto Plan?

Davido’s cryptocurrency plans had not been realized after the CBN dealt a deadly blow to the superstar.

Davido had announced his foray into the world of blockchain and cryptocurrency and since he made the announcement or intention on his social media platform, he has been unable to talk about the progress of the venture.

On the 2nd of February, Davido took to his social media account to tweet that he was considering setting up a bitcoin trading platform.

The singer said the trading company will offer services that cover speculating the movement of bitcoin prices, purchasing bitcoin at choice periods, and trading it off for solid gains also at “choice” periods.

Three days after Davido hinted at starting his own bitcoin trading company, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) released a circular on the 5th of February, 2021 prohibiting financial institutions from facilitating the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies.

The Circular also directed financial institutions to also investigate the accounts of individuals or businesses involved in cryptocurrency and close them.
