REGULATION | Minnesota State Signs Law Permitting Banks, Credit Unions to Offer Crypto Custody Se...Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, has signed a bill allowing state-chartered banks and credit unions to offer cryptocurrency custody services adding the state to a growing list of U.S. jurisdictions opening the door for traditional financial institutions to handle digital assets.
The legislation, known as HF 3709, permits banks and credit unions in the state to provide virtual-currency custody services beginning Aug. 1, 2026, according to the Minnesota Legislature and reports from crypto news outlets.
Under the law, institutions must maintain written policies covering risk management, internal controls, and cybersecurity before launching custody operations. They are also required to notify the Minnesota Commissioner of Commerce at least 60 days before beginning such services. Client assets must remain segregated from the institution’s own holdings.
State Representative, Bernie Perryman, one of the bill’s sponsors, said the measure was designed to ensure Minnesota-based financial institutions can ‘evolve alongside their customers’ instead of forcing residents to rely on offshore or unregulated crypto firms.
The move comes as U.S. regulators and banks increasingly revisit digital asset services following easing federal restrictions on crypto-related banking activities. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) earlier clarified that nationally chartered banks could engage in crypto custody activities provided they maintain appropriate risk controls.

Traditional lenders have also been re-entering the sector. U.S. Bancorp, headquartered in Minneapolis, revived its institutional bitcoin custody service in 2025 after suspending it during a period of tighter regulatory scrutiny.
Some traditional lenders however have been opposed to OCC’s move to grant national bank charters to crypto and fintech firms.
The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), a lobbying group representing some of the largest U.S. banks, is considering legal action against the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) arguing that the OCC has reinterpreted federal licensing rules in a way that could allow crypto companies to enter the U.S. banking system without the same level of oversight applied to traditional banks.

Minnesota’s crypto custody approval comes alongside tougher rules elsewhere in the state’s digital asset market. The state recently passed separate legislation banning crypto ATMs and kiosks, citing concerns over fraud and money laundering.

STABLECOINS | Tether Invests in LemFi to Push USDT-Powered Remittances Across Africa and AsiaTether, the issuer of USDT, the world’s most widely used stablecoin, has announced an investment in cross-border payments platform, LemFi, to expand stablecoin-powered remittance services across emerging markets as Tether pushes deeper into real-world financial infrastructure.
The investment will support the integration of Tether’s USDt stablecoin into LemFi’s remittance network which serves diaspora communities sending money between Europe, North America, Africa and Asia.
By leveraging Tether’s deep liquidity and LemFi’s established presence across emerging markets, the two companies are setting a new standard for faster, more inclusive remittances, designed for today’s interconnected world.

— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) April 5, 2024
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The partnership aims to reduce the cost and settlement times of cross-border transfers via on-chain payments instead of traditional banking rails such as SWIFT.
Founded in 2020, LemFi has grown rapidly among migrant users seeking cheaper international money transfers and multi-currency accounts. The company recently surpassed 1 million users and processes more than $1 billion in monthly transaction volume, according to company statements.
Commenting on the milestone, Ridwan Olalere, CEO and Co-Founder, LemFi, said:
“Tether’s investment is a significant milestone for us at LemFi, but more importantly, it is a validation of the direction we are heading. We have always believed that the financial system should work equally well for everyone, regardless of where they live or where they are sending money.
Integrating USD₮ into our infrastructure brings us closer to that reality, enabling faster, cheaper, and more reliable financial services for the millions of people who depend on us every day.”
REPORT | Stablecoins Could Reshape African Payments But Face Infrastructure, Regulatory Hurdles, Says Onafriq Report
Tether CEO, Paolo Ardoino, said the investment aligns with the company’s strategy of expanding financial access through stablecoin infrastructure.
“At Tether, our goal is to promote financial inclusion, and we are committed to working with platforms building scalable financial solutions that address the real needs of our 585 million users globally.
Our investment in LemFi reflects our shared vision on how money moves across borders, prioritizing speed, cost, and transparency. By supporting LemFi’s growth and innovation roadmap, we are helping bring the benefits of a stable digital asset to more people who rely on remittances in their daily lives.”
STABLECOINS | Stablecoins Becoming Vital Financial Tools in Africa as Remittances Surpass Aid, Says Former UN Under-Secretary General
Africa’s fintech sector is increasingly embracing stablecoins as it seeks to streamline cross-border payments, overcome currency volatility, and offer faster, cheaper alternatives to traditional remittance and settlement channels.
Stablecoins are gaining traction as fintech players look to bypass unreliable correspondent banking systems. In recent months, firms like PayStack, Flutterwave, and Onafriq (formerly MFS Africa) have ramped up their use of stablecoins to facilitate international payments and settlements across the continent.

The move comes as stablecoin issuers increasingly position digital dollars as a tool for remittances and payments in regions with high transfer costs and limited banking access. Africa remains one of the world’s most expensive remittance corridors, according to World Bank data.

CRYPTO CRIME | Kenyan Detectives Snub a Woman for a USDT-Linked Fake Gold SchemeKenyan detectives have arrested a woman accused of masterminding a fake gold scheme that allegedly defrauded an American investor of more than $431,000 in the stablecoin USDT, in the latest high-profile fraud case to spotlight the country’s growing battle with financial and crypto-linked crime.
According to Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the suspect, identified as Mildred Kache, also known as Sabreena Ayesha, was arrested at Crystal Villas in Nairobi’s upscale Kilimani neighborhood after investigators tracked her through what authorities described as a forensic-led investigation.

Police said the alleged scam began when the suspects convinced the U.S. national they could supply 400 kilograms of gold bars. The investor later traveled to Nairobi to finalize the deal after receiving what authorities described as convincing documentation and assurances.
Once agreements were signed, the victim transferred USDT 431,380 to accounts linked to the suspects, believing the shipment would proceed as planned, investigators said. However, the gold was never delivered and the suspects allegedly disappeared after receiving the funds.
The DCI said a second suspect, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, escaped arrest during the operation, abandoning a black Mercedes-Benz E50 that was later seized by investigators as part of the probe. Authorities said efforts to trace and apprehend him are ongoing.
The case adds to a growing list of crypto and investment-related fraud incidents in Kenya, where law enforcement agencies have intensified scrutiny of digital asset crimes amid rising adoption of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins across East Africa.
CRYPTO CRIME | Top Kenyan Criminal Investigations Body, DCI Kenya, Admits to a Rise in Crypto-Related Crimes
In recent years, Kenyan authorities have investigated multiple cases involving fraudulent crypto investment schemes, SIM swap fraud, online forex scams and digital asset-linked money laundering operations targeting both local and foreign investors.

Once agreements were signed, the victim transferred USDT 431,380 to accounts linked to the suspects, believing the shipment would proceed as planned, investigators said. However, the gold was never delivered and the suspects allegedly disappeared after receiving the funds.
The DCI said a second suspect, Ibrahim Yusuf Mohamed, escaped arrest during the operation, abandoning a black Mercedes-Benz E50 that was later seized by investigators as part of the probe. Authorities said efforts to trace and apprehend him are ongoing.
The case adds to a growing list of crypto and investment-related fraud incidents in Kenya, where law enforcement agencies have intensified scrutiny of digital asset crimes amid rising adoption of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins across East Africa.
CRYPTO CRIME | Top Kenyan Criminal Investigations Body, DCI Kenya, Admits to a Rise in Crypto-Related Crimes
In recent years, Kenyan authorities have investigated multiple cases involving fraudulent crypto investment schemes, SIM swap fraud, online forex scams and digital asset-linked money laundering operations targeting both local and foreign investors.
A #Kenyan cryptocurrency P2P trader on #Binance has been arrested and aligned in court after attempting to withdraw funds linked to a crypto scam.

Since 2025, Kenyan authorities also stepped up cooperation between the DCI, financial intelligence units, and international agencies to combat cyber-enabled financial crimes, particularly those involving virtual assets and cross-border transactions.

The country has increasingly become a regional hub for crypto activity due to its high mobile money penetration and growing fintech ecosystem, but regulators and investigators have repeatedly warned that weak oversight and informal trading networks have also made it attractive to fraudsters.
The Kenya government is currently advancing efforts to establish clearer oversight for virtual asset service providers, with policymakers seeking to strengthen anti-money laundering compliance and investor protection frameworks as crypto usage expands.
The arrested suspect remains in police custody pending arraignment, the DCI said.

REGULATION | Rwandan Parliament Unanimously Passes Law Regulating Virtual Assets and Cryptocurren...Rwanda has passed a sweeping law to regulate virtual assets and cryptocurrencies becoming one of the latest African countries to formalize oversight of the fast-growing digital asset sector amid rising crypto adoption across the region.
The legislation, approved by Rwanda’s lower chamber of parliament earlier this month, establishes the country’s first comprehensive legal framework governing virtual asset businesses, including cryptocurrency trading platforms and other digital asset service providers.
Under the new framework, companies offering virtual asset services will be required to obtain licenses from Rwanda’s Capital Markets Authority before beginning operations. The law also introduces measures aimed at curbing
money laundering,
terrorism financing, and
online financial fraud
tied to digital assets.
REGULATION | ‘Crypto Assets are Not Authorized for Payments, FRW Conversion, or P2P Trading with FRW,’ Says Central Bank of Rwanda
Lawmakers said the move was intended to balance innovation with investor protection as crypto usage expands in Rwanda and across East Africa.
“The law aims to establish a secure and reliable regulatory framework,” Rwanda’s parliament said, adding that it would help protect citizens from fraudulent investment schemes and fake crypto platforms.
The bill follows years of caution from the National Bank of Rwanda which had previously warned about the risks associated with cryptocurrencies including volatility and fraud. In late 2024, the central bank said it was working with regulators to develop formal crypto rules.
Rwandan lawmakers estimate that about 350,000 people in the country currently use virtual assets while crypto adoption has accelerated across neighboring Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
The law also introduces penalties for unlicensed operators. Draft provisions reviewed by lawmakers proposed prison terms of up to five years and fines reaching 100 million Rwandan francs ($70,000) for illegal virtual asset activities.
The legislation now awaits presidential assent and publication in the official gazette before taking effect after which regulators are expected to issue detailed operational guidelines for the sector.

EXPERT OPINION | Crypto Has Split Into 4 Major SegmentsCrypto markets are increasingly moving in different directions as the industry fragments into separate sectors with distinct drivers, a trend some analysts say could signal a more mature phase for digital assets rather than a weakening market.
While Bitcoin continues attracting institutional money through exchange-traded funds, decentralized finance activity has slowed, stablecoins are gaining traction as payment infrastructure, and blockchain networks are processing growing transaction volumes even as many crypto tokens struggle to rise in price.
Bitwise CEO, Hunter Horsley, says the crypto market has effectively split into four major segments:
stablecoins and payments,
Bitcoin as a macro asset,
tokenization and on-chain finance, and
blockchain infrastructure.
According to Horsley, each segment is now operating under different
adoption cycles,
regulatory conditions and
investor expectations,
allowing some parts of the market to grow even as others stagnate. Each sector is growing for different reasons.
INSTITUTIONAL | ‘DeFi Exploits, Limited Growth Are Holding Back Institutional Adoption,’ Says America’s Largest Bank
According to Horsley:
“This is not the end, it’s not the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning.”
Patterns and intutions of the prior era no longer apply in the new one, he said. Horsley’s reading suggests the new chapter will be defined by:
mainstream institutions
fewer dominant players, and
broader adoption
which points to a different kind of a market altogether than in the past.
Stablecoins have emerged as one of the clearest examples of this divergence.
The stablecoin market has grown to more than $320 billion, driven increasingly by payment companies, banks, and cross-border settlement demand rather than speculative crypto trading.
Circle recently reported a 20% rise in quarterly revenue and reserve income, while
VISA said its stablecoin settlement pilot reached a $7 billion annualized run rate across multiple blockchains.
STABLECOINS | The Stablecoin Market Cap Surpass $320 Billion as Yield-Bearing Stables Vastly Outpace the Market
Tokenization is attracting institutional capital within regulated structures in contrast to open DeFi protocols that have demonstrated and carry ongoing security risk and regultory ambiguity. Within this environment, adoption curves, risk profiles, and customer bases show clear divergence at almost every level.
By growing on an institutional timeline, tokenization is projected to cross $2 trillion in market capitalization by 2030 as money mrket funds and Treasury products migrate on-chain.
INSTITUTIONAL | JPMorgan to Launch a Tokenized Money Market Fund Supporting Stablecoin Issuers Under GENIUS Act
At the same time, Bitcoin has increasingly traded like a macro-economic asset influenced by institutional ETF flows, interest rates, and liquidity conditions, often outperforming the broader crypto market even as altcoins weaken.
Bitcoin’s deepending institutional allocation base into ETFs has attracted a new kind of investor that was previously limited to traditional securities. Institutional allocation builds credibility and validates the asset class for allocators who might otherwise have stayed out entirely.
The shift comes as regulators and financial institutions deepen their involvement in digital assets. U.S. lawmakers this week advanced the Clarity Act, a major crypto market structure bill aimed at defining oversight rules for cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.
Industry analysts say the fragmentation could ultimately be bullish for the sector because growth is becoming tied to real-world utility and institutional adoption instead of speculative trading cycles that historically pushed most digital assets higher or lower together.

OPINION | What the Passing of the Nigeria ISA 2025 Crypto Law Means for Web3 ProjectsA post by Omosefe EgharevbaOmosefe Egharevba, Web3 Growth Strategist
Nigeria passed the most comprehensive crypto law in Africa.
Most Web3 projects still don’t know what it means for them. Honestly?
A few years ago, I didn’t either.
When I first entered Web3, I was running spaces, building community, showing up everywhere. I understood the culture. I understood the energy. I thought that was enough.
Nobody was talking about the SEC. Nobody was asking about VASP registration or capital thresholds.
We were all just building fast, loud, and largely unbothered by regulatory frameworks that felt like they belonged to a different, more boring industry.
Then the CBN moved. Then the EFCC started freezing accounts. Then Binance the biggest exchange in the world found itself in Nigerian courtrooms.
And I realized: the rules were always there. We just weren’t paying attention.
That shift changed how I work. It changed what I tell every project that comes to me wanting to enter this market. And it’s why ISA 2025 doesn’t intimidate me it actually makes sense to me now.
Let me break down what it means for you.
The Investments and Securities Act ISA 2025 officially classifies digital assets like Bitcoin as securities.
That single sentence changes everything about how you operate in Nigeria.
It’s not a suggestion. It’s not a grey area. It’s law.
REGULATION | Nigerian President Signs Investment and Securities Act 2025 into Law Formally Classifying Virtual Assets as Securities
So what does it actually mean if you’re a Web3 project eyeing the Nigerian market?
1.) You need to register. Full stop.
Any company operating a crypto exchange, wallet service, token issuance, or digital asset custody in Nigeria must register with the SEC as a Virtual Asset Service Provider a VASP.
There are three categories:
-Digital Asset Exchanges (DAX)
Digital Asset Offering Platforms (DAOPs)
Digital Asset Custodians (DACs)
If your product touches any of these, registration isn’t optional. It’s required.
REGULATION | ‘We Will Not Allow Unlicensed Crypto Businesses to Operate Within Our Space,’ Warns SEC Nigeria
2.) The capital threshold is real.
Minimum paid-up share capital of ₦500 million. That’s the entry bar.
Some exchanges like Busha and Quidax have received Approval-in-Principle under the SEC’s Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Program (ARIP), allowing them to operate while completing full compliance.
That pathway exists. But you have to actually walk it.
REGULATION | SEC Nigeria Raises Minimum Capital Requirements, Sets Higher Bar for Crypto, Fintech, and Capital Market Operators
3.) Anonymity is over.
KYC and AML requirements are enforced with real consequences.
Exchanges must report suspicious activity to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit.
Transaction records must be kept for years. Blockchain analytics are being used to connect wallets to real users.
The EFCC already froze 22 bank accounts linked to USDT sellers in 2024. They have the tools. They are using them.
REGULATION | SEC Nigeria Teams Up with Central Bank & EFCC Nigeria to Share Intelligence, Monitor, and Freeze Illicit Digital Wallets
4.) Tax is now unavoidable.
From January 2026, crypto exchanges are required to report every user transaction to tax authorities.
Failure risks your operating license. Capital gains from crypto are now treated as chargeable gains under personal income tax rates climbing as high as 25%.
I share all of this not to overwhelm you but because I wish someone had laid it out this clearly for me when I was starting.

REGOLAZIONE | lo Stato della Regolazione Crypto in Africa nel 2026I regolatori africani stanno lentamente muovendosi verso una supervisione formale degli asset virtuali mentre i governi di tutto il continente rispondono a
l'adozione crescente di criptovalute,
l'aumento delle transazioni transfrontaliere, e
la crescente pressione per allinearsi agli standard finanziari globali.
Diverse nazioni africane stanno ora redigendo o implementando quadri normativi destinati a regolamentare i fornitori di servizi di asset virtuali (VASPs), segnando un cambiamento rispetto a anni di posizioni politiche frammentate o poco chiare verso una supervisione più strutturata del settore degli asset digitali.

ANALISI DI MERCATO | I Rendimenti dei Treasury U.S. Aumentano Spingendo Bitcoin Giù e Oscurando il CLARITY Act Le...Bitcoin è tornato sotto il chiave $80.000 mentre i rendimenti dei Treasury statunitensi in aumento e le condizioni di liquidità in restringimento hanno allontanato gli investitori dagli asset rischiosi, oscurando l'ottimismo riguardo la nuova legislazione criptovalutaria negli Stati Uniti.
La più grande criptovaluta al mondo è scesa di oltre il 3% a circa $79.000 dopo aver fallito nel mantenere lo slancio sopra il livello di resistenza, secondo i dati di mercato.
Il ritiro è avvenuto mentre il rendimento dei Treasury statunitensi a 10 anni è salito sopra il 4,5% per la prima volta dalla metà del 2025, mentre il rendimento a 30 anni si avvicinava al 5,1%, aumentando l'attrattiva del debito sovrano rispetto ad asset non redditizi come Bitcoin.

EDITORIALE | Perché la contabilità e la scoperta dei prezzi rimangono i maggiori ostacoli ai mercati dei capitali Toke...Mentre Wall Street corre per portare azioni, obbligazioni e fondi sui binari della blockchain, alcune delle istituzioni più grandi del settore stanno scoprendo che la tokenizzazione potrebbe risolvere vecchie inefficienze mentre crea contemporaneamente un intero nuovo set di problemi nella struttura di mercato.
Il dibattito si è ora spostato ben oltre la sperimentazione crypto. Le aziende istituzionali, tra cui BlackRock, Franklin Templeton e Apollo Global Management, hanno ampliato i prodotti di investimento tokenizzati mentre le aziende native crypto come Robinhood, Kraken e Coinbase continuano a spingere il regolamento blockchain più in profondità nei mercati dei capitali mainstream.

ISTITUZIONALE | Le perdite di BitGo Q1 2026 sono più che raddoppiate nonostante oltre il 40% di crescita nella base clientiLa società di custodia crypto, BitGo, ha dichiarato che il suo fatturato annuale è salito a $3.8 miliardi, anche se le perdite sono più che raddoppiate a causa del calo dei prezzi di bitcoin e dei costi legati alla sua quotazione pubblica che hanno gravato sui risultati.
