Background of the Study
The rapid proliferation of digital currencies has transformed the financial landscape, necessitating robust global governance frameworks to regulate these emerging assets. In Lagos State, digital currencies have gained traction as alternatives to traditional financial systems, prompting regulatory challenges and opportunities (Okonkwo, 2023; Musa, 2024). Global governance institutions and national regulators are working to develop standards that ensure transparency, security, and stability in digital financial transactions. These regulatory frameworks aim to mitigate risks such as money laundering, fraud, and market volatility while fostering innovation and financial inclusion. However, the decentralized nature of digital currencies complicates traditional regulatory approaches, leading to discrepancies in enforcement and oversight. This study examines how global governance reforms impact the regulation of digital currencies in Lagos State. It evaluates the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks, the challenges of cross-border regulation, and the implications for economic stability and innovation in the digital economy (Okonkwo, 2023; Musa, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Despite efforts to regulate digital currencies, Lagos State faces significant challenges due to regulatory fragmentation and technological complexities. The lack of a unified global governance framework has led to inconsistent policies and enforcement practices, which undermine market stability and investor confidence. This study seeks to identify these regulatory gaps and propose solutions to enhance the effectiveness of digital currency regulation (Okonkwo, 2023; Musa, 2024).
Objectives of the Study
To evaluate the impact of global governance on the regulation of digital currencies in Lagos State.
To identify challenges in the current regulatory framework.
