Effective 19 May 2026, Nigerian equities and commodities settle T+1. It is a market-plumbing change rather than a crypto rule, but it belongs on this monitor for what it signals: the same regulator writing VASP-adjacent rules is compressing settlement toward the T+0 world that tokenized markets assume. Brokers, custodians and clearing members had days rather than months to re-tool reconciliation, a preview of the operational tempo African market infrastructure reform is now running at.
