Cryptocurrency exchange and wallet provider Blockchain.com is expanding into parts of Africa where crypto regulation is beginning to solidify.

加密貨幣交換和錢包提供商Blockchain.com正在擴展到非洲的部分地區，那裡的加密法規開始鞏固。

The company is focusing on Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, and plans to open a physical office in Nigeria this quarter, citing it as its fastest-growing market in West Africa, reports Bloomberg.

據彭博社報導，該公司專注於加納，肯尼亞和南非，併計劃本季度在尼日利亞開設一個物理辦公室，理由是它是西非增長最快的市場。

The move comes as earlier this year Blockchain.com took a new step towards a potential initial public offering (IPO) through new executive appointments.

此舉是因為今年早些時候Blockchain.com通過新的執行任命邁出了潛在的首次公開募股（IPO）的新一步。

Earlier this year, rumors swirled online that Blockchain.com was preparing for an IPO in the second half of 2023, and that the company had hired executives from banking and financial technology firms.

今年早些時候，有傳言稱Blockchain.com正在準備在2023年下半年進行IPO，該公司已從銀行和金融技術公司僱用了高管。

The rumors also claimed that Blockchain.com was working with investment banks to prepare for the offering, which could value the company at around $5 billion.

謠言還聲稱，BlockChain.com正在與投資銀行合作為發行做準備，這可能將公司重視約50億美元。

However, at the time a spokesperson for Blockchain.com said that the company had "no plans for an IPO at this time."

但是，當時BlockChain.com發言人說，該公司“目前沒有IPO計劃”。

The company is best known for its cryptocurrency exchange and wallet services, which are used by millions of users around the world.

該公司以其加密貨幣交易所和錢包服務而聞名，全球數百萬用戶使用。

The firm also provides a range of other crypto services, including institutional custody solutions and a tokenized securities platform.

該公司還提供一系列其他加密服務，包括機構監護解決方案和令牌化證券平台。

Blockchain.com is one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges and has been operating since 2011. The company is fully licensed and regulated in the jurisdictions where it operates.

BlockChain.com是全球領先的加密貨幣交易所之一，自2011年以來一直在運營。該公司在其運營的司法管轄區中獲得了完全許可和監管。

The company’s decision to expand into Africa comes as the continent is rapidly emerging as a hub for cryptocurrency innovation.

由於大陸正在迅速成為加密貨幣創新的樞紐，因此該公司擴展到非洲的決定。

Several African countries are now in the process of introducing legislation to regulate cryptocurrencies.

現在，幾個非洲國家正在引入規範加密貨幣的立法。

In December, Nigeria passed a new investment and securities law, which includes provisions for licensing and regulating cryptocurrency exchanges.

12月，尼日利亞通過了一項新的投資和證券法，其中包括有關許可和規範加密貨幣交易所的規定。

The West African nation’s new Finance Act 2023 also adjusts the capital gains tax (CGT) to align with cryptocurrency.

《 2023年西非國家新金融法》還調整了資本利得稅（CGT），以與加密貨幣保持一致。

Earlier this year, the Bank of Ghana released draft guidelines for cryptocurrency services, in a move that would bring the sector largely into the regulatory fold.

今年早些時候，加納銀行發布了加密貨幣服務草案，此舉將大部分將該行業帶入監管方面。

Meanwhile, Kenya’s capital markets regulator is still in the research phase to further understand the asset class and any potential regulatory framework.

同時，肯尼亞的資本市場監管機構仍處於研究階段，以進一步了解資產類別和任何潛在的監管框架。

Earlier this year, the regulator said it was working closely with the central bank to coordinate any broader regulatory approach.

監管機構今年早些時候表示，它正在與中央銀行緊密合作，以協調任何更廣泛的監管方法。
