The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering a proposal that would allow for the licensing of digital assets, specifically tokens backed by select assets. The head of security and investment at the <a href="https://sec.gov.ng/notice-of-acceptance-of-applications-for-the-regulatory-incubation-ri-program/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SEC</a>, Abdulkadir Abbass, announced that the agency is planning to restrict token listings to those backed by assets like equity, debt, or property. Cryptocurrencies backed by bitcoin and Ethereum will not be permitted under this proposal.The SEC&#39;s goal is to register fintech firms as digital sub-brokers, crowdfunding ventures and to tokenize coin offerings. However, the SEC will not be registering any cryptocurrency exchanges until the Central Bank provides clear regulations for the cryptocurrency market.Abbass explained that licensed applicants will undergo a year of regulatory incubation, during which the SEC will study their operations and determine how they can best serve the country. The aim of this proposal is to provide a regulatory framework for digital asset trading and offer protection to investors in the market.The SEC&#39;s decision to permit the listing of tokens based on select assets demonstrates a willingness to embrace the opportunities presented by the digital asset industry while also protecting investors from the volatility and risks associated with cryptocurrencies. By focusing on assets that are more stable and familiar to investors, the SEC can create a more secure and stable market that fosters innovation and growth in the digital asset industry.What are your thoughts on the Nigerian SEC&#39;s proposal to only allow tokens backed by select assets, and not permit cryptocurrencies backed by Bitcoin and Ethereum?
