The 3rd edition of Africa Money & DeFi Summit West Africa returns to Ghana on September 24–25, 2025, bringing together over 500 leaders across fintech, Web3, and decentralized finance. While West Africa continues its rise as a pioneer of digital finance, this high-impact summit builds on its reputation as a catalyst to boost business growth, investment, & partnerships throughout the region.
The summit will explore how modern payments and cross-border trade are unlocking new economic opportunities in Africa, while digital services and loan platforms expand financial inclusion. Stablecoins and web3 are defined by value exchange and assets; financial equipment with corporate finance is more accessible than ever. Sessions will also tackle regulation and policy, KYC and digital identity for secure digital ecosystems, and examine how Fintech and AI are driving smarter and more personalized financial solutions.
With Nigeria’s global Stablecoin adoption (25.9 million users, 11.9% penetration) and Ghana poised to enact digital asset regulations by September 2025, with the Central Bank of Ghana in attendance, West Africa is clearly at the forefront of financial transformation. According to Yellow Card’s 2025 Report, Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest Stablecoin adoption rate in the world (9.3%), with Nigeria’s ranking in second place globally in the overall use of digital assets.
Andrew Fassnidge, Director of Africa Money & DeFi Summit, comments:
“Africa’s financial landscape is evolving rapidly. Stablecoins now support payroll, move-border transfers, and business operations – driving real commercial momentum. With mobile-based stablecoin transfers 61% and 43% of virtual assets transactions from stables, adoption is accelerating. Fintech innovation is at the heart of this shift, spanning embedded finance, lending platforms, digital identity, Web3, mobile money, and digital commerce. This summit brings together the builders, investors, and platforms turning emerging technologies into scalable business and investment opportunities.”
