Accra to convene Africa’s regulators and markets on tokenization at AVAS 2026

The choice before African markets is no longer whether virtual assets will exist, but how they will be governed, the Commission stated at the launch.

The Securities and Exchange Commission, Ghana (SEC) today launched the Africa Virtual Asset Summit (AVAS) 2026, a two-day gathering to be held on 2 and 3 November 2026 at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra.

In a message to the launch, Emomotimi Agama, Director-General of Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission, observed that no single regulator can supervise this market alone because virtual assets do not respect borders.
