ChainUp, a top global blockchain solutions provider, has announced plans to host a webinar focused on tokenisation and digital assets, with a particular emphasis on the African market. The event will bring together key voices from the blockchain ecosystem to explore the opportunities and challenges facing the continent as tokenisation gains momentum worldwide.
Tokenisation, representing real-world and digital assets on the blockchain, has become one of the most talked-about trends in recent years. With applications ranging from real estate and commodities to art and intellectual property, tokenisation is reshaping how value is exchanged and accessed. For Africa, a region often underserved by traditional financial systems, this innovation presents both transformative potential and unique challenges.
The upcoming ChainUp webinar will focus on how tokenisation can unlock liquidity, improve financial inclusion, and bridge infrastructure gaps across the continent. Discussions will also touch on the regulatory environment, investor education, and how blockchain-backed digital assets could accelerate economic growth in Africa.
Panellists are expected to share insights on emerging tokenisation models, practical use cases in African markets, and what industry players must do to build trust and adoption. The webinar will be moderated by Roman Makananisa, ChainUp’s Business Development lead for Africa. Panellists include:
- Gideon Gitonga, Chief Product Officer at NomaChain & Blockcoop
- Candice Dawkshas, CEO of SchindlersX
- Hank Coetzee, Strategic Partnership Manager at VALR
- Sean Emery, Co-founder and CEO at RainFin
The conversation will also explore the future of tokenised securities and how Africa can position itself to attract global investment through blockchain technology.
Event details are as follows:
Date: 27 August 2025
Time: 7:00–8:30 PM (GMT+2) / 8:00–9:30 PM (GMT+3)

By convening this discussion, ChainUp aims to create a platform for knowledge-sharing and collaboration, helping stakeholders better understand the role of tokenisation in shaping the future of finance in Africa and beyond.
