- The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) requires USD stablecoin issuers to establish a local presence in the country, or risk losing access to the retail market. 🔥

- During the assessment period, access to Class 2 channels requires explicit CBN approval. Foreign licenses cannot substitute for local issuers and token approvals.

- Local compliance requirements may strengthen the market position of domestic stablecoin issuers and accelerate the restructuring of regional funds settlement systems.

- Tighter regulation could drive institutional capital toward compliant assets, while market liquidity is expected to remain ample in the short term.

- Whale activity suggests that smart money is positioning early and may increase its holdings once policies become clearer. A rise in short-term volatility is expected to lay the groundwork for a sustained trend.
