Web3, Crypto, Blockchain - Unlocking Prosperity for Tech and Creative Industries in Africa @ Roundtable #7

This event took place on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 at 7:00 PM UTC.

Crypto adoption is highest in Africa than any other continent. What are the drivers, insights and opportunities for crypto in the region? Kenya, Nigeria, SouthAfrica, Togo are among top 10 economies using crypto according to Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index. What does this mean for growth on the continent? How can the core value proposition of cryptocurrency and blockchain – decentralization, trust systems, immutability and programmatic nature be used to create and unlock value in Africa and for Africa? How does it increase cross-border trade, help creatives monetize more, and allow self-governing systems to remove current inefficiencies in African markets? In the same vein, how can we preserve value for crypto adopters in Africa – especially for the poorest people on the continent. What safeguards need to be put in place? This is a roundtable discussion – come share your thoughts and learn from others.
