The technology behind this innovative market, Blockchain, has been identified to be game-changing especially for nations such as Nigeria. The applications of its varied potentials are quite limited only to the understanding and application of man.
With the ability to move value across the world at such an impressive cost and speed, blockchain technology via digital currencies has given the ability to do the unusual. Abubakar Sulieman, CEO of Sterling Bank shares similar sentiments when he said “with blockchain, value can be harmonized across physical barriers. He’s also credited with the statement “the era of fiat currency is gone.”
Digital currency has come to shape the future as we know it and help solve the myriad of financial related challenges in the society. And this is reflected in the growing interest in digital currencies which the Head of Registration, Exchanges, Market Infrastructure and Innovation at SEC, Mr. Emomotimi Agama was noted to have confirmed, he said they found out that lots of young Nigerians are involved in cryptocurrency and blockchain.
