Nigeria’s payments landscape is changing fast, and stablecoins are becoming part of everyday financial conversations. From cross-border transfers to savings and business payments, more Nigerians are interacting with digital money in practical ways. This July, those conversations take centre stage again at the Nigerian Stablecoin Summit 2.0 in Lagos.
The Nigerian Stablecoin Summit 2.0 is organised by the Africa Stablecoin Network, a pan-African ecosystem focused on advancing responsible conversations around stablecoins, payments, and digital finance across the continent. The summit builds on the momentum of Nigeria’s first large-scale stablecoin-focused gathering.
The event brings together founders, fintech operators, policy voices, and ecosystem leaders who are directly involved in how money moves across Nigeria and West Africa. The goal is not speculation or hype, but clarity. Attendees come to understand how stablecoins are being used today, where the risks are, and what responsible adoption should look like in an African context.
Africa’s financial systems operate under different realities from those of Western markets. Mobile-first behaviour, informal economies, currency volatility, and strong cross-border trade needs shape how financial tools are adopted. The Nigerian Stablecoin Summit 2.0 reflects these realities by focusing on practical use cases, regulatory considerations, and real-world lessons from people building and operating within the ecosystem.
Discussions at the summit are expected to cover payments infrastructure, financial inclusion, regulatory alignment, trust, and the role stablecoins can play alongside existing systems such as mobile money and bank transfers. The value of the event often extends beyond formal sessions, with informal conversations and networking offering context that cannot be captured online.
Attendance at the Nigerian Stablecoin Summit 2.0 is free, reinforcing the organisers’ commitment to accessibility and open dialogue. The summit is designed for professionals working in fintech and payments, policymakers, developers, founders, researchers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how digital money is evolving in Nigeria.
As stablecoins continue to gain traction across Africa, spaces for thoughtful and grounded discussion are becoming increasingly important. Events like the Nigerian Stablecoin Summit 2.0 provide an opportunity to focus on what works, what needs improvement, and what questions still need answers.
