The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has declared that the Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), operating under the corporate identity of ST Technologies International Limited, remains banned in Nigeria.
SEC declared this in a public notice issued on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.
The commission said CBEX, also known as Smart Treasure/Super Technology, had not been registered by the commission.
SEC, however, advised the public to refrain from patronising or transacting any investment-related business with CBEX.
It stated: “The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been drawn to media reports indicating that CBEX (Crypto Bridge Exchange), operating under the corporate identity of ST Technologies International Ltd, also known as Smart Treasure/Super Technology, has resumed operations across Nigeria.
“According to the reports, CBEX promoters are demanding $200 from their subscribers with balances above $1,000 and $100 from those with less than $1,000 balances before withdrawals can be processed.

“Unequivocally, neither CBEX nor ST Technologies International Limited (or Smart Treasure/Super Technology) is registered with the commission or authorised to offer investment-related services to the Nigerian public.
“As a matter of fact, enforcement action has already been initiated against CBEX and its promoters following its previous unauthorised investment activities.
“The commission is collaborating with relevant Law Enforcement Agencies to properly investigate CBEX/ST Technologies International Ltd. and will take appropriate actions in line with the provisions of the Investments and Securities Act 2025.
“The Nigerian public is accordingly advised to refrain from patronising or transacting with CBEX /ST Technologies International Ltd. (Smart Treasure or Super Technology) as they risk losing their funds.”
SEC also enjoined Nigerians to verify the registration status of investment platforms through the commission’s portal before transacting.
