As Nigeria’s digital asset landscape continues to evolve, stakeholders across finance, technology and regulation are setting their sights on the future. The Crypto and DeFi Forum 2025, scheduled for June 11, 2025, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, is set to be one of the most important gatherings for the industry this year and the Stakeholders in Blockchain Technology Association of Nigeria (SIBAN) is proud to join as an official industry partner.
This event comes at a defining moment. The regulatory environment is taking shape, investor interest is growing, and Nigerian innovators are creating blockchain solutions that are solving real problems. Yet, there are still key questions to answer and gaps to close. The Crypto and DeFi Forum will serve as a platform to address these challenges and unlock new opportunities through meaningful collaboration and forward thinking dialogue.
Building the Next Chapter for Nigeria’s Digital Asset Economy
Under the theme “Future Forward What is Now and Next for Nigeria’s Digital Assets Industry”, the forum will examine the current state and future outlook of Nigeria’s blockchain and crypto ecosystem. How can the country support innovation while ensuring user protection? What frameworks are needed to grow a trusted and inclusive digital asset economy? How can we bridge local solutions to global opportunities?
The event will feature a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Dr Emomotimi Agama, Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission; Obinna Iwuno, President of SIBAN; representatives from Luno, Prestmit, Mastercard, Superteam Nigeria, and more. These voices will offer a broad and deep perspective on the opportunities and challenges facing digital finance in Nigeria and beyond.
SIBAN’s participation reflects its strong commitment to supporting innovation through self regulation, education and ecosystem development. As an organization dedicated to advancing blockchain adoption in Nigeria, SIBAN will be contributing its knowledge and experience to key conversations around policy, capacity building, user protection and technology adoption.
