Crypto World News reports that, according to Premium Times, Nigeria's Senate has passed a second reading of a cryptocurrency regulation bill, aiming to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for virtual assets, digital assets, and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), and requiring crypto exchanges and VASPs operating in Nigeria to obtain mandatory licenses, transparency, and compliance. The bill has been referred to the Senate Capital Markets Committee for further review, which will submit a report within four weeks after a public hearing. If ultimately approved by the National Assembly and signed by the President, it will mark the further development of Nigeria's crypto regulatory framework.

After the licensing system is implemented, domestic exchanges are expected to undergo reshuffling, and small platforms will face immense pressure.

Nigeria has finally taken serious action; compliance is good for long-term development, but things are a bit slow around here.

The bill details have not been released yet, but the direction is clear: embrace regulation, reject wild practices. The battle for Africa's crypto hub enters the second half.
