“$Davido Is Highly Risky”: Nigerians React As SEC Warns Against Investing in Davido’s Meme Coin

• SEC has cautioned Nigerians against investing in $Davido meme coin linked to music star Davido
• In a lengthy message released by the commission, it disclosed why it would be a risk on investors' part to buy such coins
• The SEC's statement comes amid Portable's ongoing feud with the DMW label boss, who he termed a failure

The Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warned potential investors on Friday, June 14, to avoid $Davido’s coin and other meme coins.

According to the SEC, investing in $Davido’s coin, linked to music star David Adeleke, aka Davido, was risky because meme coins lack fundamental value and are purely speculative.

The commission further stated that it does not recognise the coin, and anyone investing in it does so at their own risk.
