加密货币交换和钱包提供商Blockchain.com正在扩展到非洲的部分地区，那里的加密法规开始巩固。

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.

据彭博社报道，该公司专注于加纳，肯尼亚和南非，并计划本季度在尼日利亚开设一个物理办公室，理由是它是西非增长最快的市场。

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

此举是因为今年早些时候Blockchain.com通过新的执行任命迈出了潜在的首次公开募股（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.

今年早些时候，有传言称Blockchain.com正在准备在2023年下半年进行IPO，该公司已从银行和金融技术公司雇用了高管。

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.

谣言还声称，BlockChain.com正在与投资银行合作为发行做准备，这可能将公司重视约50亿美元。

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

但是，当时BlockChain.com发言人说，该公司“目前没有IPO计划”。

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

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是全球领先的加密货币交易所之一，自2011年以来一直在运营。该公司在其运营的司法管辖区中获得了完全许可和监管。

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

由于大陆正在迅速成为加密货币创新的枢纽，因此该公司扩展到非洲的决定。

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

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

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

《 2023年西非国家新金融法》还调整了资本利得税（CGT），以与加密货币保持一致。

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.

今年早些时候，加纳银行发布了加密货币服务草案，此举将大部分将该行业带入监管方面。

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