Alfred Adjabeng
Lead at Africa Bitcoin Policy Forum
Alfred Adjabeng is a doctoral researcher at the University of Ghana whose work explores the intersection of technology, development, and economic governance. In recent years, Alfred has developed a strong research and policy interest in Africa’s emerging Bitcoin ecosystem, focusing on how open monetary networks can advance financial inclusion, resilience, and economic empowerment across the continent.
Alfred previously led the AfroBitcoin Fellowship, a pan-African learning and leadership program that equips emerging professionals with the knowledge, skills, and analytical tools needed to understand Bitcoin, its socio-economic implications, and its potential for Africa’s future. Under his leadership, the fellowship brought together young thinkers, builders, and advocates across multiple African countries, fostering a community of practice around Bitcoin education, research, and responsible adoption.
His research and public engagement examine the role of Bitcoin in remittances, cross-border payments, energy monetization, community savings systems, and economic autonomy for ordinary people. Alfred’s work also contributes to ongoing conversations on Bitcoin regulation, digital public infrastructure, and Africa-led innovation in open financial technologies.
As a development practitioner with more than a decade of experience, Alfred integrates his background in governance, climate, and community-based development with his growing focus on Bitcoin policy—bringing a uniquely multidisciplinary lens to the future of digital money in Africa.
