Tinubu Signs New Virtual Assets Order: What Nigeria's Crypto Law Means for Investors

-

 President Bola Tinubu has signed a new Presidential Executive Order on Virtual Assets Coordination, 2026, marking another major step in Nigeria's effort to regulate cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. The order took immediate effect and is designed to harmonise oversight across government agencies while strengthening investor protection and reducing fraud.

Under the new framework, key agencies—including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and other relevant institutions—will work together to oversee Nigeria's rapidly growing virtual asset sector. The government says the move will improve regulatory coordination, encourage innovation, and build public confidence in the digital economy. 

For cryptocurrency users and investors, the order does not ban crypto trading. Instead, it seeks to establish clearer rules, improve transparency, and protect Nigerians from scams and fraudulent investment schemes while supporting legitimate blockchain businesses. 

As cryptocurrency adoption continues to grow in Nigeria, many industry observers believe a more coordinated regulatory approach could help attract investment while making the market safer for users.
