Registered delegates will anticipate discussions on the impact of regulation on the crypto space. This will feature a session on Regulation: untying the knots by experienced industry players and representatives of key regulators such as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The conversation will also centre around providing an enabling regulatory environment for the growth of the ecosystems and the practical steps all stakeholders need to take.
This will be followed by a keynote and panel session on Blockchain for Africa: The endless possibilities. Here, innovators will discuss the possibilities of cryptocurrencies in Africa and how the attendees can position for future leverage.
