Building Africa's digital capital markets
Digital Capital Africa works with regulators, institutions and builders on the adoption, use and regulation of digital capital in Africa: tokenised securities, stablecoins, digital asset markets and the settlement rails underneath them. We begin with Nigeria.
The team that put Africa's digital money conversation in one room
We convened Africa's first stablecoin conference on 24 July 2025 at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, followed by the West Africa Stablecoin Summit in Abuja that November and the Nigeria Stablecoin Summit 2.0 on 30 July 2026.
Between convenings, we work with regulators, companies and think tanks, and advise on what sound digital capital policy looks like. Now that Nigeria's capital market law treats digital and virtual assets as securities, our work has grown with it: from stablecoins to the full digital capital market.
"While stablecoins are a luxury for the West, they are an economic lifeline for Africa."Nathaniel Luz, Founder
Currency volatility, costly remittances and thin banking access are pushing millions of Africans toward digital money and digital assets. That shift is already happening. Our work is to make sure it happens responsibly, with rules that protect users and room for builders to build.
The shift to digital capital in Africa is not a forecast. It is already here.
