Nigeria is positioning itself as a dominant force in the global crypto and digital assets industry, setting the pace for innovation, regulation, and widespread adoption. As digital finance rapidly evolves, the nation is bringing together major stakeholders from across the crypto, blockchain, and DeFi (Decentralized Finance) space to drive meaningful dialogue and transformative action.
In a move to solidify its leadership, Nigeria will host the highly anticipated Crypto & DeFi Forum on June 11, 2025, in Lagos. This landmark event is expected to attract over 1,000 participants, including regulators, crypto executives, investors, innovators, and users—uniting the full spectrum of the digital assets ecosystem. The forum is designed to spark in-depth conversations on market trends, regulation, technology, financial inclusion, and real-world use cases, shaping the future of crypto in Nigeria and across Africa.
At the heart of this momentum is the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has been issuing licenses to crypto exchanges, offering a clear regulatory framework that boosts investor confidence and fosters responsible innovation. This alignment of policy and progress is laying the groundwork for Nigeria to become a global hub for digital finance.
The Crypto & DeFi Forum will feature comprehensive discussions on trending topics such as DeFi solutions, stablecoins, and investment strategies tailored to the Nigerian market. Attendees will also delve into the role of crypto in promoting financial inclusion, with a focus on empowering underserved communities through accessible financial tools. Another crucial area of focus will be security and risk management, addressing fraud, cyber threats, and best practices to protect both users and platforms in this emerging space.
