Nigeria tax authority issues new rules: crypto trading gains, staking rewards and airdrops now explicitly taxable

AI Market Summary
Nigeria's tax authority has issued guidelines explicitly taxing crypto profits, staking rewards, and airdrops, increasing regulatory clarity while raising compliance costs for local participants. The move may reduce speculative activity and alter yield-seeking behavior onshore, while also lowering legal uncertainty for exchanges and custodians operating in the jurisdiction. Near-term market impact is likely concentrated in Nigeria-linked flow rather than global risk appetite.
