Nigeria recognizes cryptocurrencies as capital assets according to new market regulations Nigeria's new laws of stock market have begun declaring online currency such as Bitcoin as capital assets. This legislative change will help increase transparency and attract investments in internet finances. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has signed a new Investment and Security Act (ISA) by 2024, which cancels the old law established in 2007 (ISA No. 29). The new law says all digital assets and related capital agreements will be considered as capital assets. It has also enabled SEC to control digital asset providers (VASPs), digital asset managers (DAOPs), and digital asset markets. This means that any company dealing with digital assets must register with the SEC and follow its regulations. This step is crucial to eliminating scam services in the digital world, and boosting trust in blockchain innovations. Director of SEC, Emomotimi Agama, praised the move, saying it would lead to increase in capital investments in digital assets. Previously, Nigeria has started reacting with panic since internet currency started getting collected in 2015, after the fall of raw oil and Naira value. Bitcoin and other internet currencies have become a refuge for many Nigerians, making Nigeria second in the world to hold internet currency, after America. But the demand for internet finance has increased the number of Naira exchange and other fees. As a result, the Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has ordered banks to close all accounts related to internet currency. Customers then return to business secretly, using direct transaction (P2P). Binance, one of the world's largest currency marketing companies, has changed its trends early, offering P2P services to Nigerian users. President Tinubu as president ascends to power in mid 2023, he appointed Olayemi Cardoso as CBN governor, and the government has begun to slow down its position on internet currency, an indication that Nigeria is planning to change its way into digital affairs.

🇺🇸Latest: The U.S. Congress' opening priority for the crypto industry *is to quickly finish a STABLECOIN oversight bill, and the House of Representatives has released the text of its version on Wednesday,* following in the heels of a recent committee approval of its Senate counterpart. Updated: March 27, 2025 https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/03/26/u-s-house-stablecoin-bill-goes-live-in-flurry-of-crypto-activity-on-capitol-hill *.......many lawmakers involved in crypto efforts on Capitol Hill all appeared on Wednesday at the DC Blockchain Summit.* *.......the Senate and House have both previously passed the resolution, The vote passed, with 70 Senators voting in support and 28 voting against. The previous Senate vote passed 70-27.* The House version of stablecoin legislation was released publicly as another bill on crypto clarity was reintroduced and the Senate weighed its crypto Internal Revenue Service's efforts. Emmer, Steil and many other lawmakers involved in crypto efforts on Capitol Hill all appeared on Wednesday at the DC Blockchain Summit, a crypto policy event hosted by the Digital Chamber. Most of them shared hopes that the stablecoin effort would be completed by August. As the conference wrapped up, the Senate prepared to vote for a second time on a Congressional Review Act resolution overturning the IRS' 2024 regulation governing decentralized finance (DeFi) brokers, *aimed at overturning the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) reporting requirements for decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms.* This legislation would exempt DeFi protocols from the obligation to report user information in the same manner as traditional brokers. Previously, the IRS mandated that DeFi brokers report the total proceeds from digital asset sales and provide customers with Form 1099, which includes collecting user transaction details such as names and addresses. *This move by the Senate seeks to alleviate the reporting burden on DeFi platforms, aligning them differently from conventional brokerage firms. The Senate and House have both previously passed the resolution, which U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to sign, but the Senate needed vote on it again due to a procedural rule requiring the House to vote first on tax-related issues.* *The vote passed, with 70 Senators voting in support and 28 voting against. The previous Senate vote passed 70-27.* In a statement, DeFi Education Fund Executive Director and Chief Legal Officer Amanda Tuminelli said the group "commends the bipartisan supermajority of Congressional leaders who voted in favor of the “DeFi Broker” CRA resolution, recognizing the severe and far-reaching consequences of the IRS’ misguided rulemaking." *The US Senate is preparing to hold a final vote today March 27 to nullify the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) broker reporting rule for DeFi.* *Some of the above news updates were also gathered from Binance and Cryptoslate websites.*
