AFRICA CONN3CT, a growing forum that brings together Africa’s financial and tech leaders, will hold its inaugural Johannesburg event titled “Tokenisation in Practice: The Next Financial Layer” on September 3, 2025. The event aims to illuminate one of the most impactful financial developments: real-world asset tokenisation.
Tokenisation, once a theoretical concept, is rapidly moving into the financial mainstream. Institutions are digitising illiquid assets, ranging from real estate and private credit to government treasuries, into tokens that can be traded, tracked, and settled on-chain. These innovations promise enhanced liquidity, transparency, and accessibility across global markets.
The Johannesburg session will dig into real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation, transforming assets like real estate, private credit, and treasuries into digital tokens that can be traded, settled, and tracked on public blockchains.
Speakers will include industry veterans, technologists, and policymakers. Attendees can expect to explore practical use cases, including how tokenisation can unlock previously inaccessible assets, enable fractional ownership, and improve cross-border capital flows. The event is tailored to be both informative and action-oriented for stakeholders eager to drive adoption.
Tokenisation is gaining traction globally, but meaningful adoption depends on regulators, financial institutions, and innovators working together to shape clear frameworks. Risks like technological interoperability, legal ambiguity, and liquidity constraints must be addressed to avoid repeating past mistakes.
This event presents a timely opportunity for African stakeholders to not only learn, but help build the infrastructure that could make tokenisation the next foundational layer of finance on the continent. As digital assets continue to evolve, events like this will play a critical role in shaping Africa’s financial future.
