  • Nigeria sets precedent with first-ever crypto licenses, indicating a shift in regulatory strategy
  • New regulations expected to attract foreign investments to Nigeria’s burgeoning crypto market

The cryptocurrency landscape has experienced significant transformations in 2024. The year commenced with countries like Russia and Turkey implementing new regulations to manage the increasing influence of digital assets.

Nigeria has now made a noteworthy move by issuing its initial licenses to local crypto exchanges, signifying a change in its stance towards digital currencies.

On August 29th, the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took a proactive approach by granting “approval-in-principle” licenses to Busha Digital Limited and Quidax Technologies Limited under its Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Program (ARIP).

“Honored to be a part of this historic moment”

Buchi Okoro, Co-founder and CEO of Quidax, expressed his appreciation for the SEC’s initiative in bringing order, confidence, and investor protection to the industry. He emphasized Nigeria’s positive stance on crypto and the significance of this milestone.

“Similarly, 5 firms have been admitted to test their models and technology under the SEC’s Regulatory Incubation [“RI”] Program.”

These firms include Trovotech Ltd, HousingExchange.NG Ltd, Wrapped CBDC Ltd, Blockvault Custodian Ltd, and Dream City Capital.

Insights into Nigerian SEC’s Regulatory Programs

The Nigerian SEC has established two regulatory incubation programs to oversee and regulate digital assets firms in the country, ensuring transparency and protection for digital asset services.

The ARIP aligns with recent changes by the Central Bank of Nigeria, focusing on onboarding Virtual Assets Services Providers (VASPs) and adapting rules on digital asset issuance, custody, and exchange.

Meanwhile, the RI program evaluates the business models of digital asset firms in real-time market conditions, contributing to the development of cohesive policies for Nigeria’s evolving crypto industry.
