Regulatory AlertsNigeria ISA 2025
Investments and Securities Act 2025 (Nigeria)
Signed into law March 2025; SEC Nigeria implementation ongoing
Nigeria's Investments and Securities Act 2025 replaced the 2007 Act as the foundation of Nigerian capital-markets law — and made global headlines by bringing digital assets explicitly within the SEC's remit, classifying virtual assets as securities and formalizing the licensing path for exchanges and VASPs in Africa's largest market.
Implementation runs through SEC Nigeria rulemaking: registration frameworks, market-infrastructure rules, enforcement against unregistered operators, and coordination with the CBN's banking-side rules. For fintechs and crypto businesses targeting Nigeria, the ISA 2025 paper trail is the compliance roadmap.
