On 9 July 2026, at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City in Accra, Bitnob takes its place as Title Sponsor of the Accra Stablecoin Conference, a high-level, invitation-only forum for leaders from banks, fintechs, payment companies, corporates, and the public sector.
We are sponsoring it for a reason worth stating plainly, and it begins with something most of the world has missed.
There is an economy on this continent that the world has not yet named. Across Sub-Saharan Africa, stablecoins now account for roughly 43% of crypto transaction volume, far above the global average. In the twelve months to June 2025, the region received more than $205 billion in on-chain value, up 52% year on year.
The largest stablecoin economy in the world is already running, quietly, on rails that few outside it have bothered to map. That economy deserves a room where the people who run it can speak plainly to one another. The naming is the work.

From Nairobi to Accra
Nairobi Stablecoin Conference, Nairobi
This is not a one-off. In February, Bitnob and Tether powered the inaugural Nairobi Stablecoin Conference at the Hyatt Regency, an executive forum built around the same question: not whether stablecoins matter in Africa, but how to scale what already works.
East Africa answered. Accra is the next stop, and the route is deliberate. Lagos, Nairobi, Accra is not a list of cities. It is the shape of a single market that operates across borders, currencies, and regulators as a default condition rather than an exception.
Each conference convenes the operators who carry that market: the treasurers managing dollar liquidity in volatile currencies, the founders building on stablecoin rails, the regulators deciding what responsible adoption looks like.
The timing is not incidental. Kenya’s parliament has advanced its Virtual Asset Service Providers bill, Europe’s MiCA regime reaches its full stablecoin deadline on 1 July 2026, and the United States is implementing its GENIUS Act framework. The rulebook for this market is being written right now, in the same months these rooms are meeting.
Why we believe in the rails
Bitnob has spent the last four years building exactly that. Since 2022, our infrastructure has been built to power wallets-as-a-service, payments, card programs, collections, payouts, and stablecoin settlement for hundreds of businesses globally. More than $4.5 billion in cumulative volume has moved through that infrastructure.

That conviction shapes everything we sponsor. The question that matters for 2026 is not who runs the largest African stablecoin exchange. It is which rail African businesses actually run on when the bank is slow, the dollar is scarce, and the supplier will not wait.
The product behind the position\
A sponsorship is only as credible as the product behind it.This year, Bitnob announced the next evolution of its platform: Bitnob Enterprise, a non-custodial infrastructure stack for banks, large fintechs, and licensed institutions that want to own their custody architecture and key management, alongside the next generation of Bitnob Business, our managed platform for SMEs, developers, and growing fintechs.
Both run on the same underlying infrastructure. The difference is the operating model: managed convenience on one side, full control on the other.
What the next twelve months decide

That the stablecoins market is on a cusp of flight remains undoubted. What is needed now is coordination, and a shared language between builders, banks, and regulators.
That is what this invite-only room in Accra is for. Not announcements for their own sake, but alignment among the people who will decide whether the largest stablecoin economy in the world gets named on its own terms or someone else’s.
Bitnob is Title Sponsor of the Accra Stablecoin Conference because we believe that work is worth convening, and worth carrying. The rails are already laid. The economy is already moving. Accra is where more of the people running it agree on what to call it, and what to build next.
Join us on 9 July 2026 at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City, Accra.
