FOUNDERS FRIDAY : THE NEW MARKET ORDER

​The New Market Order: Regulation, Institutional Adoption, and What Comes Next

​As Kenya, Rwanda, and Ghana move closer to finalising their virtual asset regulatory frameworks, the conversation for Web3 builders is shifting from whether regulation is coming to how to build, partner, and scale within it.

​This session is a space for reflection on what these regulatory developments mean in practice, what comes next for compliance and market access, and how builders can better position themselves for the next phase of growth.

​We will also spotlight the latest moves from legacy financial institutions — including banks, securities market infrastructure players, payment card networks, and other traditional finance actors that are now actively exploring digital assets, tokenisation, and blockchain-based financial products.

​The discussion will unpack where real institutional momentum is emerging, where the strongest collaboration and partnership opportunities lie for Web3 players, and how the relationship between builders, regulators, and established financial institutions is likely to evolve from here.
