Digital Revolution! President Tinubu Signs Historic Executive Order To Unleash Nigeria’s Crypto And Virtual Asset Potential!.
President Bola Tinubu has signed the Presidential Executive Order on Virtual Assets Coordination, 2026, establishing a unified regulatory framework for Nigeria’s digital economy and virtual assets.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Regulatory Framework and Objectives
-
Harmonized Governance: The order aims to strengthen cooperation between financial, capital markets, and revenue agencies, closing regulatory gaps that previously left the country vulnerable to fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, and data privacy threats.
-
No New Regulator: The framework coordinates the existing mandates of government agencies rather than creating a new regulator or transferring statutory powers between institutions.
-
Oversight Structure:
-
Virtual Asset Council: Chaired by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), with the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) serving as vice-chairs. Additional members include the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) and the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
-
Virtual Asset Office: This serves as the operational body for the Council, with its secretariat located at the CBN to manage daily coordination, information sharing, and reporting.
-
Operational Implementation
-
Supervisory Approach: Registration for operators will depend on the activity and asset type; the SEC will register securities, while the CBN will oversee payment, settlement, and custody services involving non-security virtual assets.
-
Regulatory Sandbox: The CBN is initiating a regulatory sandbox, allowing eligible operators to test blockchain-based solutions and products under strict supervision to assess market and financial stability implications.
-
Fiscal and Policy Roadmap:
-
The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) will issue a tax policy for the sector to ensure consistent application of tax laws and support national revenue.
-
The Federal Government is finalizing a Virtual Assets White Paper to outline long-term policy priorities.
-
The Council is required to develop a Harmonised Implementation Framework within 30 days to facilitate the order’s execution.
