Niger (the) Stablecoin Regulation

Stage: Proposed

Regulator: None

Niger has no dedicated stablecoin issuance or licensing regime. Ordonnance n°2024-56 of 19 December 2024 transposes the 2023 UEMOA uniform AML/CFT law and brings virtual asset service providers (PSAV) into AML/CFT obligations, although GIABA follow-up reporting notes that virtual-asset risk assessment and supervision remain weak. BCEAO's regional crypto-asset framework (C-CRYPTO committee, May 2026) remains in preparation, so no operative PSAV licence or stablecoin rules are in force.

Applicable Laws:

• Ordonnance n°2024-56 on AML/CFT/PF (transposition of the UEMOA uniform law) - https://www.droitmediasfinance.com/index.php/actualites/lutte-anti-blanchiment/1282-niger-lutte-contre-le-blanchiment-le-4e-rapport-de-suivi-renforce-fait-etat-de-progres-notables-avec-9-recommandations-non-conformes-sur-40
