Regulation
Stablecoins

About this episode

Jannah Patchay (Markets Evolution) and Kofi Genfi (Volta Digital Assets) unpack how digital assets are reshaping financial infrastructure across African markets. From stablecoins and cross-border payments to tokenized assets, DeFi, and regulatory coordination, they examine where blockchain is solving real market-access problems and creating new connections to global capital. The conversation also tackles monetary sovereignty, the diversity of regulatory approaches across the continent, and what it will take for locally relevant digital-asset markets to scale. Africa offers a compelling case study for what happens when digital finance is built around utility, access, and real economic need.
