Tokenizing Africa

Tokenizing Africa: Digital Assets, Sovereignty, and the Re-Architecture of Capital argues that Africa's key constraint is not a lack of capital but a failure of liquidity, where existing assets cannot effectively circulate within financial systems. It reframes development as a problem of financial architecture, showing how weak intermediation, informality, and fragmentation limit capital formation, and presents tokenization as a way to redesign finance—while emphasizing the need for strong institutions and governance to unlock value and build efficient, sovereign markets.
