But the real game-changer wasn&#8217;t just the unbanning\u2014it was the quiet arrival of the Investment &amp; Securities Act 2025. The wild west days are over, and a new, more regulated playground is here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember the scramble? The CBN\u2019s 2021 ban pushed everyone into the shadows of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading. It was a workaround, a necessary hustle. But late 2023 brought a plot twist: a new CBN circular gave banks the green light to once again open accounts for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). The catch? These aren&#8217;t your everyday accounts. Banks are now gatekeepers, required to enforce iron-clad Know-Your-Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks. The message was clear: crypto is welcome, but only if it plays by the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that was just the opening act.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/mular.co\/blog\/the-rules-of-the-game-have-changed-what-nigerian-crypto-traders-must-know-in-2025\/#The_SEC_Steps_In_Why_Your_P2P_Platform_Might_Be_Illegal\" >The SEC Steps In: Why Your P2P Platform Might Be Illegal<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/mular.co\/blog\/the-rules-of-the-game-have-changed-what-nigerian-crypto-traders-must-know-in-2025\/#The_P2P_Squeeze_Navigating_the_New_Reality\" >The P2P Squeeze: Navigating the New Reality<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/mular.co\/blog\/the-rules-of-the-game-have-changed-what-nigerian-crypto-traders-must-know-in-2025\/#Mular_Your_Compliant_Bridge_to_Instant_Fiat\" >Mular: Your Compliant Bridge to Instant Fiat<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-sec-steps-in-why-your-p2p-platform-might-be-illegal\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_SEC_Steps_In_Why_Your_P2P_Platform_Might_Be_Illegal\"><\/span><strong>The SEC Steps In: Why Your P2P Platform Might Be Illegal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>The main event is the <strong>Investment &amp; Securities Act (ISA) of 2025<\/strong>. This piece of legislation fundamentally redefines crypto in Nigeria. According to legal analysis from experts at Dentons ACAS-Law, the ISA now classifies &#8220;virtual assets&#8221; as &#8220;securities.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does that mean for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It means the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now the sheriff in town. Any platform that deals with crypto\u2014exchanges, custodians, even the over-the-counter (OTC) desks you rely on\u2014must now be registered and licensed by the SEC as a VASP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this license isn&#8217;t a walk in the park. It requires:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u20a6500 million<\/strong> in paid-up capital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fidelity bond covering at least <strong>25%<\/strong> of the VASP&#8217;s assets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rigorous background checks and compliance frameworks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The days of anonymous, unregulated platforms are numbered. The SEC&#8217;s goal, as reported by Reuters, is to clamp down on market manipulation, especially the kind that puts pressure on the Naira&#8217;s exchange rate. They&#8217;ve even signaled intentions to &#8220;delist the naira from P2P trading&#8221; on non-compliant platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/mular.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/mular-blog-post-3-asset-1.png\" alt=\"Navigating SEC VASP License requirements\" class=\"wp-image-693\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-p2p-squeeze-navigating-the-new-reality\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_P2P_Squeeze_Navigating_the_New_Reality\"><\/span><strong>The P2P Squeeze: Navigating the New Reality<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>So, where does this leave the average trader? That P2P market you&#8217;ve mastered is now under a microscope. The informal spreads, the &#8220;best rate&#8221; hunts, the risk of dealing with unverified strangers\u2014it&#8217;s all becoming a regulatory minefield. You need a way to enjoy the speed and efficiency of digital assets without falling foul of the new rules or getting stuck with unreliable off-ramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need a bridge between your crypto and your bank account that is fast, secure, and, most importantly, compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mular-your-compliant-bridge-to-instant-fiat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mular_Your_Compliant_Bridge_to_Instant_Fiat\"><\/span><strong>Mular: Your Compliant Bridge to Instant Fiat<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n<p>This is where the new landscape creates an opportunity for the savvy trader. Instead of navigating the murky waters of unregulated P2P, what if you could sidestep it entirely?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mular offers a direct, compliant pipeline.
