During the event, FlashChange CEO Bidemi Oke made a compelling case for more transparent regulations in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sector. Speaking at a panel discussion on Crypto in Nigeria: Fintech Integration, Real-World Applications, and Opportunities, Oke highlighted the challenges businesses face due to regulatory uncertainty. He urged policymakers to collaborate with industry leaders to establish clear guidelines that foster responsible growth, protect investors, and drive economic development.
“The potential for blockchain and cryptocurrencies to revolutionize finance and enhance financial inclusion across Africa is immense. However, the absence of clear regulations creates uncertainty for companies and investors. We need a framework that balances innovation with consumer protection,” Oke stated.
