Web3 Afrika is 4 🎉 Four years of building, onboarding and showing up for the African Web3 ecosystem. This isn't just a milestone. It's a movement. Here is how we built Web3 for Africans, by Africans 🧵





Central Asia doesn't come up often in Web3 conversations, but that's about to change. With most of the industry's attention currently focused on the US, Europe, and East Asia... One country is quietly assembling the most compelling national blockchain infrastructure story of the decade. That country is Kazakhstan. While many countries are still running workshops about blockchain technology, Kazakhstan has already: -> Launched a Tenge-backed stablecoin on @solana -> Updated its banking law to bring crypto into its financial system -> Allocated $350 million from national reserves into crypto-linked assets -> Launched a full Solana Economic Zone with government backing On May 22nd, Almaty will ensure the world learns about all these developments and more at a groundbreaking event. That event is the "SOLANA SUMMIT KAZAKHSTAN 2026." Organized by @SuperteamKZ, the official Solana regional representative, this will be the largest Solana conference Kazakhstan has ever hosted. The theme is "The Future of Finance: Tokenizing Real-World Assets," and the lineup proves that this will be a conference for the ages! Here's everything waiting for you at this summit: THE SPEAKERS: ▪️ Binur Zhalenov, Deputy Governor and Chief Digital Officer of the National Bank of Kazakhstan ▪️ Sanzhar Zhamalov, Country Manager at Mastercard for Kazakhstan and Central Asia ▪️ Farrukh Umarov, Stablecoins GTM Lead at Visa for CEMEA ▪️ David Taylor, CEO of Etherfuse ▪️ Goran Safar, Global Head of Sales at ▪️ Svyatoslav Senyuta, Chief Business Officer at ADI Foundation ▪️ Abylaikhan Aubakir, Country Manager at Bybit ▪️ Yerzhan Mussin, CEO of Fonte Capital Ltd The speaker lineup also includes representatives from Kazakhstan's financial regulators and institutions. Mastercard is the official Fintech Partner of the summit. THE AGENDA: The main program will cover: -> A headline keynote titled "From Oil to Code: How Kazakhstan Can Plug Into Internet Capital Markets," followed by keynotes on Kazakhstan's national digital currency framework, blockchain capital gateway strategy, and digital economy policy. -> Panel sessions on the future of capital markets, the evolution of finance from banks and fintech to on-chain systems, and Kazakhstan's Web3 market structure. -> Deep dives into real-world adoption covering travel, payments, tokenization at scale, capital markets, tokenized securities, and global payments on blockchain. -> Live MOU signing ceremonies during the networking lunch. -> A startup pitch battle finals on the main stage, with a prize lottery to close out the day. -> Coding stations and a live NFT launch. -> An evening program that runs until midnight, with a VIP dinner and reception from 18:00, and a drone show at 20:00 WHY THIS MATTERS: The global tokenized RWAs market is projected to reach $20 trillion by 2033. Solana already processes 518+ billion transactions at fees under $0.002, with 2.1 million unique active addresses every day. Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Citigroup also back it at the institutional level. It sits in the same infrastructure alliance as Google, Microsoft, AWS, Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe. The question is not whether tokenized capital markets are coming, but who is positioned early enough to shape what they look like. Kazakhstan is not simply catching up to this wave; instead, it is actively helping to build it. The regulatory framework is clear, the engineering infrastructure exists, the government is already a participant, and the institutions are already at the table. This summit is the room where the next chapter gets written. EVENT DETAILS: Date: May 22nd, 2026 Venue: Swissôtel Wellness Resort Alatau, Almaty Attendees: 1,000+ from 30+ countries Entry: FREE (registration required and approval-based) Sign up here => luma.com/solana-summit-… See you in Almaty.


BREAKING: The SEC is set to release its so-called "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks which will pave the path for trading digital versions of securities, per Bloomberg. Details include: 1. In a "surprise move," the SEC is leaning toward allowing the trading of tokenized assets 2. These tokenized assets would be tradeable on decentralized crypto platforms 3. The move could "reshape the landscape of the American stock market" 4. This would also be one of the US' biggest shifts into crypto infrastructure yet Tokenized assets are rapidly expanding.
