Les fondateurs de la blockchain convergent en Égypte pour booster les cas d’usage et l’adoption de masse

L'écosystème crypto s'anime sur les rives du Nil alors que les cerveaux derrière les protocoles majeurs peaufinent leurs stratégies de déploiement réel.

Au-delà du battage médiatique

Ils tracent la route vers des applications concrètes—supply-chain, titrisation d'actifs, identité digitale—loin de la spéculation frénétique des marchés. Les discussions ciblent l'interopérabilité entre réseaux et les modèles de gouvernance décentralisée.

Adapter la tech aux réalités locales

L'Afrique émerge comme laboratoire idéal pour tester l'inclusion financière via les stablecoins et les micro-paiements transfrontaliers. Les régulateurs observent le mouvement avec un mélange de curiosité et de méfiance typique des institutions traditionnelles.

Le verdict ? Les use cases avancent plus vite que l'adaptation réglementaire—une constante qui fait à la fois le sel et le supplice de cette industrie. Même les banques centrales ne peuvent ignorer la vague, elles qui jonglent entre innovation contrôlée et peur de l'obsolescence.

Founders to develop blockchain solutions in Egypt

The expert group seeks to grow mass adoption in blockchain and challenges centered around blockchain use cases for off-chain transactions and the cross-border payments sector. Also, on the table was documentation sharing, especially for governmental sector where security of documents and confidentiality are key.

In addition, the remittance sector was discussed, given that 9% ($35 billion) of Egypt’s $386 billion GDP comes from remittances sent by more than 15 million Egyptians abroad.

“The discussions we’ve had here in Cairo, focused on practical blockchain applications like cross-border payments and digital identity, are essential for building a more inclusive and efficient financial future for the MENA region. Sui’s architecture, with its focus on scalability and asset ownership, is uniquely positioned to empower this transition and help create a digital economy that benefits everyone,” Kostas Kryptos Chalkias, Co-Founder and Chief Cryptographer of Mysten Labs, creators of Sui, stated.

Mohamed Abdou, CEO and Founder of Pravica, explained that the goal is to leverage blockchain to build a truly on-chain banking 2.0 infrastructure. He explained, “This will go far beyond simple digital payments to enable a new suite of services, from instant cross-border remittances to more secure lending. The initiative is a massive step towards financial inclusion for Egypt. The work is complex, but the potential is limitless.”

Professor Georgios Siourounis, CEO of xMoney Global, shared his vision for the future of cross-border digital payments, noting that financial systems must also connect PEOPLE across borders; this is how true inclusion starts.

The meeting was attended by Egyptian high-level representatives from the academic, banking, and governmental sectors.

Finally, Tony Amer, CEO and Founder of EMURGO Labs, summed it up by stating that the goal is to ensure that Egypt and the region are not just observers of how blockchain is reshaping economies but active participants.

The Egyptian government has banned the trading or utilization of crypto, while working on blockchain implementations in trade, logistics, carbon markets and exploration of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Blockchain in the financial domain could be a game changer in Egypt, with more than 98% of the country’s business being micro to small and medium-sized entities.
