LAGOS, NIGERIA — Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), in collaboration with Digital Assets by Management Academy (DAMA), has announced the continuation of its weekly knowledge series titled Blockchain World 2.0, designed to educate the public on emerging developments in blockchain technology and digital finance.
The upcoming session will focus on the topic “Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): Opportunity or Threat?”, as global conversations intensify around government-issued digital currencies and their potential impact on financial systems.
The programme is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, and will run from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Nigerian time, offering participants a structured one-hour session of expert insights and interactive engagement.
According to the organisers, the session will examine how Central Bank Digital Currencies operate, their differences from cryptocurrencies, and the broader implications for financial systems worldwide.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the advantages of CBDCs, including efficiency in transactions, improved access to financial services, and enhanced regulatory oversight by governments.
The programme will also address growing concerns about privacy and surveillance, particularly as digital currencies issued by central banks could provide authorities with increased access to financial data.
Experts are expected to analyse whether CBDCs will compete directly with cryptocurrencies or coexist within the evolving digital finance ecosystem.
The organisers noted that real-world examples from countries already piloting or implementing CBDCs will be discussed to provide practical context for participants.
The session will be hosted virtually via Zoom, allowing participants to join through the following link:

They also confirmed that Blockchain World 2.0 is a weekly programme that will continue to hold every Wednesday at the same time, providing a consistent platform for learning and discussion.
The interactive format will allow attendees to ask questions and engage directly with speakers, ensuring a more practical and inclusive learning experience.
As digital currencies continue to gain global attention, the organisers believe the programme will play a key role in equipping participants with the knowledge needed to understand and navigate the future of money.
