Accra, July 7, GNA – The Bank of Ghana (BoG), through its Virtual Assets Department, has officially joined the Digital Assets Summit Africa (DASA) 2026 as an Official Partner, marking a significant milestone in Ghana’s digital asset journey.
The partnership, approved by the Bank’s Management, reflects the BoG’s commitment to fostering responsible innovation, strengthening stakeholder engagement, and promoting constructive dialogue as Ghana implements the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (Act 1154) and develops the regulatory directives to guide the industry.
Scheduled for September 16–17, 2026, at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra, the Summit will bring together more than 500 delegates from across Africa and beyond under the theme: “From Policy to Prosperity: Scaling Digital Assets for Investment, Jobs & Economic Growth in Africa.”
According to a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency, senior officials from the Bank of Ghana’s Virtual Assets Department have been confirmed as speakers. They include Mr Philip Kwaw Sebuabe, Acting Head of the Virtual Assets Department; Dr Seyram Pearl Kumah, Head of Policy and Research; and Mr Tahiru Alhassan, Head of Oversight and Compliance.
Their participation is expected to provide delegates with first-hand insights into Ghana’s evolving regulatory framework and the Bank’s vision for responsible digital asset innovation.
The statement said the programme will feature discussions on regulatory frameworks, the tokenisation of real-world assets, institutional investment, stablecoins, blockchain-driven job creation, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and investment opportunities across Africa’s digital economy.
The Summit will also host investor-startup matchmaking sessions, policy roundtables, innovation showcases, and strategic dialogues aimed at advancing collaboration within the sector.
Mr Peter Frimpong Manso, Lead Organiser of DASA 2026, described the partnership as a strong vote of confidence in the Summit.
“The Bank of Ghana’s decision to partner with DASA 2026 is a significant milestone, not only for the Summit but for Ghana’s broader digital asset ecosystem. This reflects our shared commitment to advancing responsible innovation and positioning Ghana as a leading hub for digital asset development in Africa,” he said.
Organised by ProMark Elite Limited, DASA 2026 is rapidly establishing itself as Africa’s premier forum for policy, investment, and innovation in digital assets, blockchain, fintech, and emerging financial technologies.
