Nigeria Advances Crypto Regulation with Landmark Securities Act
Nigeria has solidified its position as a regulatory leader in Africa's digital asset space with the passage of the Investments and Securities Act 2025. The legislation explicitly brings VIRTUAL assets, cryptocurrencies, and tokens under the purview of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission as regulated securities.
The move establishes a clear framework for foreign cryptocurrency firms operating in Africa's largest economy, while simultaneously addressing digital asset marketing practices. Market observers note this could serve as a blueprint for other African nations navigating crypto regulation.
