Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering regulating Bitcoin, signaling a potential shift in the country’s approach to digital assets. The SEC’s Director General expressed openness to exploring regulatory frameworks and emphasized the importance of investor protection and market integrity.

Dr. Momotimi Agama, the SEC’s Director General, indicated that the agency is not opposed to regulating Bitcoin and is open to exploring frameworks. This openness aims to accommodate cryptocurrencies within Nigeria’s financial system despite the SEC’s historical caution. The SEC’s primary focus remains on investor protection and maintaining market integrity, and any move toward regulation would be aligned with these goals.

Just days after Agama’s remarks, James Otudor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, filed a lawsuit challenging the government’s crypto restrictions. The lawsuit seeks to overturn these restrictions and calls for establishing a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in Nigeria. Furthermore, the lawsuit emphasizes the importance of digital assets for financial inclusion in Nigeria's economy, particularly amidst economic volatility.
