The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)  has vowed to combat fraud, money laundering, and market manipulation in the country’s rapidly evolving cryptocurrency sector.

Emomotimi Agama, the Director General of the SEC, made the pledge during the opening of the International Organization of Securities Commissions World Investor Week in Lagos on Monday.

He noted, “As the aforementioned framework continues to evolve, enforcement action against illegal crypto platforms will significantly increase in severity.

“As financial products become more complex and technology-driven, from fintech innovations to cryptocurrency trading, it is critical and responsible for stakeholders to commit to equipping investors with the knowledge to navigate these markets confidently and responsibly.”

To address the unique challenges posed by the crypto landscape, he disclosed that the SEC had developed and released comprehensive frameworks aimed at regulating Virtual Asset Service Providers.

Agama emphasized that those frameworks were designed to maintain market integrity while encouraging innovation.

He noted, “Through this approach, we have created a Regulatory Incubation Programme within which new technologies and digital assets can be tested and approved for public use.”

Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Governor of Lagos State, backed the SEC’s efforts, emphasizing that Lagos stood at the intersection of innovation, technology, and finance.

“The emergence of digital assets and the increasing role of technology in finance present both unprecedented opportunities and challenges. We must engage thoughtfully and strategically with these developments,” he stated.

He underscored the need for comprehensive regulation, stating, “While the potential of cryptocurrencies to democratize finance is significant, we must also be mindful of the risks they introduce, particularly in areas of regulation, security, and investor protection.”

Sanwo-Olu reinforced the importance of sustainable finance, noting, “As we seek to address global challenges such as climate change and economic instability, it is clear that finance must be a force for good. Investments in responsible businesses are sound strategies for long-term value creation.”
