Regulation Timeline
2024
Niger's Ministry of Finance rejected a false promotion of online cryptocurrency-investment sessions.
2026
The BCEAO reported that its committee is working on a regional crypto-asset framework for UMOA.

Regulatory Framework
Niger is a UMOA member, whose common currency is the CFA franc issued by the BCEAO. The BCEAO created a committee to develop the Union's crypto-asset regulatory framework, indicating regulatory work in progress rather than national authorisation for VASPs or platforms. In 2024, Niger's Ministry of Finance rejected a false announcement using its name for cryptocurrency-investment sessions. No official register of authorised crypto providers or individual crypto-tax rule was found: confirm both directly with the authorities.
