Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sounded the alarm over escalating fraud in the digital asset space, pledging tighter oversight to protect investors. The regulator announced plans to collaborate with security agencies to penalize perpetrators and provide investor guidance during a keynote address at an Abuja event titled 'Understanding VIRTUAL Assets and Investment Fraud.'
