The potential of DeFi for transformative change?
The central theme of the summit will focus on the large-scale financial and technological shifts that are driving the growth of DeFi. The event will explore how this shift could impact the future of money and payments, both on an individual and institutional level. Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology opens the door to new possibilities for transparent, decentralized, and fraud-resistant solutions. In many African nations, cryptocurrencies are viewed as a favored alternative for asset storage and transfer. Earlier this year, the Central African Republic adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, following a similar move by El Salvador in Latin America.
Africa emerges as a “crypto hub”
Cryptocurrencies have gained significant popularity in various African countries, as well as other developing regions. Africa is positioned to become a major hub for blockchain and cryptocurrency development, with these technologies being seen as potential solutions to several ongoing challenges. Digital transformation is advancing rapidly across the globe, and blockchain technology is playing an increasingly central role. With vast untapped potential, Africa’s involvement in the crypto space is growing steadily.
Recently, adoption has accelerated, with countries like Ghana emerging as a hub for crypto-tech and blockchain startups.
In cash-based economies, the rise of cryptocurrencies has coincided with mobile technology growth, granting access to alternative economic infrastructures. This enables unbanked populations to gain financial inclusion and access a wide range of essential services. Blockchain-based marketplaces like Local Bitcoins are leading this revolutionary shift.

The digital currency landscape is expanding rapidly, and it’s clear that digital currencies and the blockchains behind them will play a pivotal role in the future of finance and payments.
