加密货币分类需求增长：尼日利亚利益相关者希望比特币和以太币被归类为商品

尼日利亚的利益相关者正在推动尼日利亚证券交易委员会（SEC）效仿伊利诺伊州法院最近做出的裁决

Stakeholders in Nigeria are urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to classify Bitcoin and Ether as commodities, following a recent court ruling in Illinois.

在伊利诺伊州法院最近做出裁决后，尼日利亚的利益相关者敦促美国证券交易委员会（SEC）将比特币和以太币归类为商品。

As cryptocurrencies gain increasing attention within the global financial system, there are growing calls for their proper categorization and further definition, Cointelegraph shares.

Cointelegraph 表示，随着加密货币在全球金融体系中受到越来越多的关注，对其进行适当分类和进一步定义的呼声越来越高。

Speaking with Cointelegraph, Lucky Uwakwe, chairman of the Blockchain Industry Coordinating Committee of Nigeria (BICCoN), highlighted the need for a precise definition of cryptocurrency.

尼日利亚区块链行业协调委员会（BICCoN）主席 Lucky Uwakwe 在接受 Cointelegraph 采访时强调了对加密货币进行精确定义的必要性。

According to the chairman, this approach would guide the manufacturers in pinpointing the regulations.

主席表示，这种方法将指导制造商确定法规。

"The Nigerian SEC should bear in mind the need to create regulations that define the asset class of crypto assets or break down the respective crypto into asset classes and explain to the members of the public how such crypto qualifies to be called securities or commodities," he noted.

“尼日利亚证券交易委员会应牢记需要制定法规来定义加密资产的资产类别或将相应的加密货币分解为资产类别，并向公众解释此类加密货币如何有资格被称为证券或商品，”他指出。

Different protocols, different regulationsDespite the United States SEC and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) agreeing that Bitcoin and Ether are commodities, the varying protocols — proof-of-stake (PoS) versus proof-of-work (PoW) — could alter the categorization of specific crypto assets, according to Uwakwe.

不同的协议，不同的法规尽管美国 SEC 和商品期货交易委员会 (CFTC) 同意比特币和以太币是商品，但不同的协议——股权证明 (PoS) 与工作量证明 (PoW)——可能会改变Uwakwe 表示，特定加密资产的分类。

While physical commodities like cash crops and agricultural products have historically garnered attention from the Commodity Board, digital commodities have not received the same level of focus in Nigeria.

虽然经济作物和农产品等实物商品历来受到商品委员会的关注，但数字商品在尼日利亚并未受到同样程度的关注。

Nigerian government agencies showing interestSeveral Nigerian government agencies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), SEC, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), are showing interest in cryptocurrencies, according to Oladotun Wilfred Akangbe, chief marketing officer at Flincap, an exchange platform for over-the-counter cryptos in Africa.

尼日利亚政府机构表现出兴趣首席营销官 Oladotun Wilfred Akangbe 表示，包括尼日利亚中央银行 (CBN)、SEC、联邦税务局 (FIRS) 和尼日利亚通信委员会 (NCC) 在内的多个尼日利亚政府机构都对加密货币表现出了兴趣Flincap 的官员，Flincap 是非洲的场外加密货币交易平台。

Highlighting that the value of assets is now being pegged to Bitcoin and Ether, two of the leading cryptocurrencies, Akangbe underlined that Bitcoin and Ether need separate approaches to regulation from other cryptocurrencies.

Akangbe 强调，资产的价值现在与两种主要加密货币比特币和以太币挂钩，并强调比特币和以太币需要与其他加密货币不同的监管方法。

According to Akangbe, the SEC should pay special attention to initial coin offerings (ICOs) and other forms of cryptocurrency financing. Looking at each cryptocurrency to determine whether it is a security or a commodity is important because they are all unique, another local crypto researcher, Rume Ophi, stated.

Akangbe 表示，SEC 应特别关注首次代币发行（ICO）和其他形式的加密货币融资。另一位当地加密货币研究员 Rume Ophi 表示，研究每种加密货币以确定它是证券还是商品很重要，因为它们都是独一无二的。

If Nigeria is serious about creating a thorough regulatory framework for digital assets, it must listen to the suggestions of its stakeholders. By classifying Bitcoin and Ether as commodities, the Nigerian SEC can bring much-needed market stability and clarity, encouraging innovation while ensuring regulatory compliance.

如果尼日利亚真的想为数字资产建立一个彻底的监管框架，就必须听取利益相关者的建议。通过将比特币和以太币归类为商品，尼日利亚证券交易委员会可以带来急需的市场稳定性和清晰度，鼓励创新，同时确保监管合规性。
