Summary

Nigeria's Presidential Executive Order on Virtual Assets Coordination, 2026, creates a coordinated regulatory framework for virtual assets without establishing a new regulator or transferring powers between agencies. The Order establishes a Virtual Asset Council (CBN-chaired), a Virtual Asset Office, a regulatory sandbox, and mandates a tax policy — addressing fragmentation that has exposed Nigeria to money laundering, terrorism financing, fraud, and revenue losses.
