Africa’s leading B2BC event servicing company, Eventhive, has stated that the upcoming Crypto & DEFI Forum will explore conversations across eight content tracks, focusing on Blockchain and Web3 Innovations, Policy and Regulation, Market trends and investments, financial inclusion and accessibility, security and risk management, building the ecosystem, education and awareness, use cases and applications.

This was in a statement announcing the firm’s partnership with Prestmit as the Headline sponsor of its Inaugral Crypto & DEFI Forum scheduled to be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island Lagos.

With SEC licensing crypto exchange companies in Nigeria, attention now shifts from crypto’s speculative nature to its utility value, real-world applications for blockchain are gaining prominence. Questions abound regarding blockchain’s role in financial markets, the potential of Bitcoin ETFs, and the path toward comprehensive industry regulation.

Crypto and DEFI Forum will convene Nigeria’s largest gathering for traditional financial players, regulators, policymakers, and digital asset innovators. Industry players will engage in keynote interviews, networking sessions, and debates, exploring strategies for navigating institutional tokenisation, expanding blockchain applications, and addressing regulatory challenges.

CEO, Eventhive, Jamiu Ijaodola, said “At our core we spotlight opportunities across various markets through our B2B2C event, we are thrilled to launch our inaugural crypto event as this is an industry that cannot be overlooked considering its potential impact on Nigeria’s digital finance market, we are mostly excited to be partnering with Prestmit as the Headline Sponsor of the event.”

Head of Product, Prestmit, Ayo Adewuyi, said “At Prestmit, we believe the future of finance in Africa is not just digital. It is decentralised, accessible, and deeply practical. We are proud to headline this conversation with Eventhive, and we are ready to unlock more avenues and opportunities to shape the next chapter of blockchain in Africa, to the world.”

The Forum will also provide an unrivaled opportunity for crypto solutions providers to showcase their offerings to industry leaders, investors, and end-users.
