The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has introduced a stringent requirement for peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency transactions on platform-based services. According to Section 10.3.3 of its November 2026 Regulations for the Operations of Non-Security Virtual Assets in Nigeria, platforms must ensure that the naira account name and Bank Verification Number (BVN) exactly match the verified customer before releasing or crediting regulated tokens, including stablecoins.
