Access Bank, GTBank and UBA begin closing customer accounts that have traded cryptocurrency.

The accounts closure appears to be the enforcement of a new law on activities that were not illegal when they were performed. Until the CBN’s recent circular, it was okay for people to trade crypto with their bank accounts.

Good, at least let them have access to their funds. They will open another account elsewhere.

What about people who mine cryptocurrency? Does this law affect them as well? I hope not because it would not be good at all. I decided to buy asic miners recently on https://cryptouniverse.io/miners myself, and it would be really bad if the government thought that the activity I perform is illegal, even though there are thousands of people who just earn money that way.
