The IMF has raised concerns about Nigeria's rapid adoption of dollar-pegged stablecoins, warning this trend threatens the country's monetary sovereignty and could weaken its traditional banking sector. Nigeria leads sub-Saharan Africa in stablecoin inflows, driven by naira depreciation, high remittance costs, and limited access to formal forex markets. The IMF likens this to "digital dollarization," where reliance on dollar-denominated digital assets limits central bank control over inflation and liquidity. It recommends stronger regulation, better data use, and improved payment systems to compete with stablecoins and protect financial stability.
