The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued stricter rules for influencers promoting crypto-related products without transparency.
Influencers must ensure their crypto clients are licensed by the SEC before endorsing any product or service.
Failure to comply with the rules can result in penalties such as fines of at least 10 million Naira (approximately $7000), imprisonment of up to three years, or both.
The regulations also require influencers to use clear and simple language in their promotions to avoid misleading or confusing potential investors.
