      About this event

      The Africa Stablecoin Summit 2026 takes place on 12–13 November 2026 at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. It is organised by Chasing Mavericks, a Kenya-based research, policy and convening institute, and the ticketing page describes it as the summit's second edition. Tickets are listed from R3,350.

      The 2026 theme is "Stablecoins at Scale: Institutional Adoption & Financial Infrastructure". The summit is aimed at central banks, finance ministries, regulators, banks, payment providers, corporate treasurers, stablecoin issuers, custody providers and development finance institutions. The programme combines keynotes, panels, fireside chats and a debate on correspondent banking, local-currency stablecoins, mobile money integration, AML/CFT, tokenisation and reserve assurance, with closed-door forums for regulators and executives and sponsor-led breakouts.

      Announced speakers include Parag Monteiro (Standard Chartered), Siya Gule (FirstRand), Derrick Ochago (Anchorage Digital), Freddie Omany (pawaPay) and Simon Dingle (ZARP Stablecoin). Supercoin is title sponsor, Tether is stage sponsor, pawaPay is diamond sponsor, and ZARP Stablecoin and Utila are gold sponsors.
