ProMark Elite Limited and KPMG have partnered to strengthen the development of Africa’s digital assets market through the Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA), with a focus on regulation, institutional capacity and responsible innovation.
According to a joint statement, Africa’s digital assets conversation has moved beyond interest in new technology.
The priority is now to establish clear rules, build institutional capacity and convert responsible innovation into real economic value.
The partnership positions DASA as a platform that brings together central banks, securities regulators, government institutions, banks, fintech companies, investors, technology providers and professional advisers to examine practical issues shaping the sector.
DASA 2026 is expected to feature participation from the Bank of Ghana through its Virtual Assets Department, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission and other financial sector institutions.
Their involvement places policy, supervision and market conduct at the centre of the programme.
Ghana has already taken notable steps by passing the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act 1154), which provides the legal foundation for the registration, licensing and supervision of virtual asset service providers.
The Bank of Ghana (BoG) has also established a Virtual Assets Department to support regulation of the ecosystem.
KPMG serves as a knowledge partner for the summit, contributing expertise in financial services, governance, risk, regulation, tax, audit and technology. ProMark provides the convening platform.
Together, the partners aim to move discussions beyond general interest toward the practical decisions and safeguards required as digital asset markets develop.
The collaboration will address key questions facing the industry, including how banks should control virtual asset transactions, how service providers should be licensed and supervised, the accounting and tax implications of digital assets, and how tokenisation can support financing for businesses and infrastructure.
The partners emphasise that progress will depend on clear regulation, accountable governance, effective controls, and stronger cooperation between the public and private sectors.
