SEC Nigeria published Rules on Commodity Exchanges, Warehouse Receipt Systems and Collateral Management under ISA 2025, setting licensing and operational standards for commodity market participants, including real-world asset tokenization. Paired with Ghana's Africoin sandbox admission a month earlier, this is the second African regulator in a quarter to give agricultural and natural-resource tokenization an explicit legal home. Licensing pathways were expected Q2 to Q3 2026; platforms building RWA products on Nigerian rails now have a rulebook to design against.
