In September 2025, Accra will become the epicentre of Africa’s digital finance revolution with the Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA 2025), themed “Unlocking Africa’s Digital Economy Through Innovation & Regulation.”
Organized by Promark Elite Ltd, this landmark event will bring together regulators, central bankers, exchanges, fintech pioneers, and investors from across Africa and beyond to shape the continent’s digital financial future.
DASA comes at a time when the United States has achieved a historic regulatory breakthrough by passing its first comprehensive digital asset laws.
In July 2025, the U.S. enacted the GENIUS Act, which provides a clear federal framework for stablecoins backed 1:1 by U.S. dollars or equivalent safe assets, requiring issuers to maintain rigorous standards on reserves, audits, and transparency.
Additionally, Congress advanced two significant bills:
-
The Digital Asset Market Clarity (CLARITY) Act, defining oversight roles for the CFTC and SEC.
-
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, barring a U.S. central bank digital currency to protect individual privacy.
Why DASA 2025 Matters for Africa
Building Credibility Through Regulation
Just as the U.S. restored confidence in digital assets through legislative clarity, DASA offers Africa a platform to design regulatory frameworks that balance consumer protection with innovation. By fostering harmonised policies across borders, the summit can accelerate continental integration in digital finance.
Elevating Stablecoins and Tokenisation
The GENIUS Act shows how regulation can legitimise stablecoins. At DASA, African central banks and regulators will explore how to safely apply stablecoins and security tokens to deepen financial inclusion, streamline remittances, and open up capital markets.
Shaping Responsible Innovation
The U.S. experience proves that regulatory clarity unleashes private-sector creativity. Through panels on AI, fintech inclusion, and digital marketplaces, DASA aims to inspire policies that encourage innovation while safeguarding consumer interests.
Boosting Investor Confidence
With the U.S. providing legislative certainty, institutional trust in digital assets is growing. DASA 2025 provides African and global investors with a timely opportunity to expand funding into Africa’s digital finance infrastructure.
Africa’s Defining Moment
As global momentum builds, DASA 2025 arrives at a pivotal crossroads. The summit offers Africa a chance to not just participate in, but lead, the global digital finance mainstream—on its own terms: regulation-informed, inclusion-driven, and growth-oriented.
