According to the notice shared, CBN listed Bybit, KuCoin, OKX, and Binance cryptocurrency exchanges and said they do not have a license to operate in Nigeria. The bank said it will capture anyone it believes is illegally trading Tether (USDT) on the listed platform, especially those using peer-to-peer (P2P) methods.
