Nigeria settled the question at the level of statute. The Investments and Securities Act 2025, gazetted on 2 May 2025, writes “virtual and digital assets” into the definition of securities, and it gives the Securities and Exchange Commission the job of registering and regulating virtual and digital asset exchanges, virtual asset service providers and digital asset operators. So holding and trading crypto is lawful, and the earlier posture — in which the Central Bank told banks not to service crypto businesses — has been replaced by a framework in which the activity is regulated.
