Central Bank of Nigeria: Issued the "Regulations on the Operation of Non-Securities Virtual Assets," requiring a minimum paid-in capital of 15 billion Naira for foreign currency stablecoin issuers, and P2P transactions must verify BVN

According to the "Regulations for the Operations of Non-Security Virtual Assets in Nigeria" published by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on November 5, 2026, the CBN will regulate non-security virtual assets and stablecoins used for payment, settlement, and exchange purposes, while securities will still fall under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).Foreign currency-pegged stablecoins (Class 2) must be issued by locally licensed entities in Nigeria, with a minimum paid-up capital of 15 billion Naira (approximately 11.16 million USD); the minimum for Naira-pegged Class 1 issuers is 10 billion Naira; entities providing other non-security virtual asset services must have at least 1 billion Naira in capital, and those already holding an SEC license cannot double count towards CBN capital requirements.P2P business facilitated by platforms must obtain special approval from the CBN, and before releasing or crediting regulated tokens, the names on the Naira payment accounts must be verified to match the Bank Verification Number (BVN). Categories such as algorithmic stablecoins are prohibited, and the boundaries of responsibilities between CBN and SEC are defined.

Bloomberg: The Binance hacking incident has prompted reflection in the cryptocurrency industry, which may reintroduce trading delays and other Wall Street risk control mechanisms

According to Bloomberg, the Binance hacking incident is prompting the cryptocurrency industry to re-examine its long-held decentralized philosophy, as well as the transaction review, settlement delays, and fund intervention mechanisms in the traditional financial system.As the cryptocurrency industry seeks to enter the mainstream financial market in the United States, some institutional investors are beginning to reconsider Wall Street's financial risk control mechanisms. In traditional finance, banks, payment networks, and clearing institutions can review suspicious transactions during the fund transfer process and can suspend fund flows under certain circumstances.Third Eye CEO Tian Zeng stated that he hopes the settlement time can be shortened from the traditional financial T+1 day to T+1 hour, by appropriately extending the settlement time and increasing review steps, thereby reducing hackers' ability to quickly transfer funds.FalconX Co-Head of Markets Joshua Lim pointed out that as more institutions enter the cryptocurrency market, the client structure is changing, and some institutions are no longer willing to fully accept the risks associated with irreversible transactions. As the cryptocurrency industry further integrates with traditional finance, how to balance transaction efficiency, decentralization, and fund security will become a problem that the industry must face.
