SEC Partners Chainalysis to Tackle Rising Crypto Scams

A surge in cryptocurrency fraud has prompted the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to strengthen its monitoring measures.

SEC Partners Chainalysis to Tackle Rising Crypto Scams

The regulator has partnered with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to improve its ability to detect and disrupt illicit activity.

This move follows growing concerns about the security of Nigeria’s expanding digital asset market.

At a joint webinar themed “Combating Scams with Blockchain Intelligence,” Dr. Emomotimi Agama, director-general, SEC,  stressed the need for coordinated action.

He said transparency in crypto transactions should be the foundation of enforcement in the sector.

Agama warned that without collaboration, fraudulent activity could grow more dangerous in the future.

The SEC plans to use blockchain’s permanent transaction records to trace and monitor illicit movements of funds. This will include identifying wallet clusters, tracking fund transfers, and analysing transaction histories on networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Agama said these measures would help the commission detect scams earlier and respond faster.

The Chainalysis 2025 Crypto Crime Report provided data that reinforced the urgency of the SEC’s initiative.

According to the report, illicit crypto addresses received $178 billion worldwide over the last five years.

The highest volume was recorded in 2022, with $54.3 billion, followed by $46.1 billion in 2023 and $40.9 billion in 2024.

Agama said these figures showed the scale of the problem and the need for advanced analytics in enforcement work.

He also noted that Nigeria must improve its technical capacity to match the sophistication of modern financial crimes.

The partnership with Chainalysis is expected to help bridge this capability gap.

The SEC is working under the framework provided by the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, which took effect in April.

Agama described the law as a key step toward establishing clear rules for the digital asset market.

It also enables cooperation between Nigerian regulators and international partners without discouraging innovation.

He called for active collaboration between regulators, technology providers, and industry players to address fraud before it escalates. “

With all the various tools at our disposal, we must brace up for the challenges ahead,” Agama said.

He added that the collective goal should be to stop criminal activity at its source.

The SEC’s collaboration with Chainalysis is positioned as a strategic move to safeguard investors and improve market integrity.

It reflects an effort to place Nigeria among regional leaders in regulated digital finance.

By integrating blockchain analytics into its operations, the commission aims to create a safer environment for crypto transactions in the country.

World Bank Approves $300m Loan to Support IDPs in Northern Nigeria

In a release, the World Bank said the Solutions for the Internally Displaced and Host Communities Project (SOLID) was approved on August 7.

It stated that the project will adopt an integrated development strategy to help displaced persons and host communities transition from humanitarian aid to self-reliance and resilience.

It also said the ongoing conflict and insecurity in the region have displaced more than 3.5 million people, straining infrastructure and deepening competition for scarce resources in affected communities.

The bank said SOLID will build on previous government and partner interventions, including the multi-sectoral crisis recovery project (MCRP), which focused on emergency recovery.

“Key areas of focus include building climate-resilient infrastructure, promoting social cohesion, supporting livelihoods, and strengthening institutions to better respond to the pressures of forced displacement.

“We are glad to support this initiative which has a tremendous potential to help Nigeria in addressing development challenges associated with protracted displacement in a sustainable way,” Mathew Verghis, World Bank country director for Nigeria, said.

“The Project’s integrated approach which is aligned with the National IDP Policy and the FGN’s long-term development vision will ensure that IDPs and host communities can transition from dependency on humanitarian assistance to self-reliance and resilience which will open up better economic opportunities,” it added.

The World Bank, which noted that the cproject is expected to benefit up to 7.4 million people, of whom up to 1.3 million individuals are identified as IDPs, added that the project will be implemented through a coordinated, community-driven approach involving all tiers of government, with strong partnerships from international stakeholders.
