SEC Nigeria to regulate virtual asset service providers under new law

The Nigerian Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 officially recognizes cryptocurrencies, ending their previous ban. The SEC is now positioned to regulate virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and protect investors more effectively.

The Act introduces strict penalties for Ponzi schemes and suggests tax incentives for foreign crypto firms. Experts advocate for proportional penalties to enhance regulatory effectiveness and promote innovation in Nigeria’s growing crypto market.
