Blockchain Africa Conference 2026. 🎬

This year, four conversations are shaping the agenda:
🔹 Digital Currency Rails: Will stablecoins power Africa's e-commerce future?
🔹 Policy, Protection & Progress: Shaping Africa's digital asset framework
🔹 Tokenisation of Real-World Assets: Unlocking Africa's next trillion-dollar market
🔹 From Legacy Systems to Digital Rails: The convergence of TradFi & Web3

That last one isn't theoretical anymore. @Absa just joined ZARU (ZAR Universal Network), South Africa's rand-backed stablecoin network with BlockTower South Africa handling issuance and redemption alongside @sanlam Corporate, @StandardBankZA and @LunoGlobal. This is what "TradFi meets Web3" actually looks like in production, not on a slide.

On stage: leaders from @Mastercard, @Nedbank , @yellowcard_app, @Onafriq , @GSXnetwork, @ForvisMazarsGrp and more the institutions and operators actually building this infrastructure.
