Nigeria just dropped their Virtual Assets Council framework 🇳🇬
Key moves:
- New regulatory council with clear responsibilities
- Innovation sandbox going live
- 30-day implementation deadline
Regulatory fog is clearing. But here's the alpha question nobody's asking:
The refs showed up. Where are the actual players?
Most VASPs still operating in grey zones. Sandbox has entities but adoption rate is weak. Framework means nothing if nobody builds.
Nigeria has 50M+ crypto users. Largest African market. If they nail this, it's a blueprint for the continent.
Watch the sandbox participants closely. First movers in compliant infrastructure will print when liquidity flows back to emerging markets.
