Accra, Ghana – July 16, 2025

The third 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. As West Africa continues its rise as a digital finance trailblazer, this high-impact summit builds on its reputation as a catalyst for driving business growth, investment, and partnerships across the region.

The Summit will explore how modern payments and cross-border trade are unlocking new economic opportunities across Africa, while digital services and lending platforms expand financial inclusion. Stablecoins and Web3 are redefining value exchange and ownership, with embedded finance making financial tools 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, more personalized financial solutions.

With Nigeria leading 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 boasts the world's highest stablecoin adoption rate (9.3%), with Nigeria ranking second globally in overall digital asset usage.

Andrew Fassnidge, Director of Africa Money & DeFi Summit, comments:

"Africa's financial landscape is evolving rapidly. Stablecoins now support payroll, cross-border transfers, and business operations - driving real commercial momentum. With mobile-based stablecoin transfers up 61% and 43% of digital asset transactions involving stablecoins, 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."

Applications are now open for the Investment Showcase, spotlighting investment-ready African ventures across fintech, blockchain, payments, Web3, and DeFi. Selected startups will pitch live to investors and ecosystem leaders, with the potential to secure funding and strategic partnerships. Applications close August 13, 2025.
