SEC Nigeria issued a public warning declaring Aurum Bot, an online platform soliciting crypto investments, unregistered and unlicensed to operate in any capacity in Nigeria. It is one warning among many, and that is the point: under the Investments and Securities Act 2025 the Commission is running a steady surveillance-and-warning operation against unlicensed digital asset platforms, published through its circulars feed. Platforms soliciting Nigerian retail investors without ISA 2025 registration should assume they are visible.
