The inaugural Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA) will take place this September in Accra, Ghana. Among the African nations, Ghana has been a leading force in the use of digital assets to boost cross-border trade, expedite payments and bolster financial inclusion among its citizens.
The two-day DASA forum is designed to bring together policymakers, investors, regulators, and technology leaders from across the continent and beyond. The conference will be held as global crypto adoption is growing and spurring institutional interest.
Africa and Digital Assets
With over 562 million global crypto users and blockchain technology moving into the mainstream, Africa is uniquely positioned to benefit from the use of digital assets. From remittances and mobile payments to the tokenisation of real-world assets, the region is already harnessing blockchain to tackle long-standing financial infrastructure challenges.
“DASA is not just another tech conference,” said Ambassador Harold Agyeman, Ghana’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, a Speaker at the summit.
“It’s a platform for Africa to define its role in the global digital economy with unity, strategy, and a deep focus on inclusion.”
Conference Themes: Regulation, Education, and Innovation
The two-day summit will explore critical themes such as:
* Harmonising digital asset regulation across African nations
* Enabling banks and institutions to safely adopt crypto technologies
* Advancing financial inclusion for unbanked populations
* Integrating AI and blockchain in next-generation financial services
High-profile discussions will also cover Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), safeguarding digital assets, and building trust in decentralised finance (DeFi).
Key conference sessions will feature African regulators, global digital asset firms, and financial service providers.
The Digital Assets Summit will highlight the role of Women in Fostering Growth in Emerging Markets
The conference will feature a special roundtable on “Empowering Women in Digital Assets”, aimed at elevating female leadership in blockchain and fintech. “There’s a real sense that Africa doesn’t have to follow the world, it can lead,” said Todor Kostov, a digital economist attending the summit.
“But it requires coordination, vision, and bold public-private partnerships.”
