Not a conference. An institution.
Where Africa's digital economy meets to shape its rules.
A permanent executive platform for digital-asset policy, regulation and compliance across Africa. Convening weekly, publishing continuously, and building the capability Africa's digital-asset economy now requires.
The problem, in one paragraph
Legislation has outpaced supervision.
Africa's digital-asset laws are now being written faster than the capability to implement them is being built. Between 2025 and 2026, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Rwanda each enacted primary virtual-asset legislation, joining South Africa's established licensing regime.
Globally, the Financial Action Task Force found that while 83% of surveyed jurisdictions have passed Travel Rule legislation, only around 40% of those with it in force have taken any supervisory or enforcement action. The gap between a rule on the page and a rule in operation is where risk concentrates, where compliance budgets are wasted, and where markets stall.
We exist to close that gap.

The Policy Lab turns what is said in the room into policy briefs, regulatory trackers, country comparisons, supervisory benchmarks and the annual State of Digital Asset Regulation in Africa Report.

Independent by design
Sponsors fund our capacity. They never fund our conclusions.
No sponsor sees research before publication. No sponsor selects speakers in a policy session. No sponsor can terminate a partnership because a finding went against them. Public authorities pay nothing, ever, and nothing they say in a closed session is attributed to them.
We publish our funding. We publish our corrections. We publish what did not work.

Weekly sessions are by invitation or approved application. Research is free to everyone, permanently.
