Hanypay Founder & CEO to Lead High Street Journal Dialogue on Virtual Assets and Blockchain
His Excellency Prof. Hugh Aryee, Founder & CEO for Hanypay Global Group, is set to headline a high-level digital dialogue on virtual assets and financial innovation, as part of ongoing efforts to promote awareness and responsible participation in the evolving digital financial ecosystem.
The programme, hosted by The High Street Journal under its “High Street Talk” platform, is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, 2026, from 1900 hours to 2000 hours.
The session, themed “The Money Revolution: Why You Need to Understand Virtual Assets – Bitcoin & Blockchain Now (A Beginner’s Guide),” will be moderated by Fred Avornyo.
Prof. Aryee is expected to draw on his leadership at Hanypay to share insights into emerging trends in financial technology, the role of blockchain in modern finance, and the growing global interest in virtual assets.
Hanypay, a digital finance, virtual assets service providers and e-commerce platform, is currently a participant in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Ghana Regulatory Sandbox, where it is testing aspects of its digital financial services, including the integration of virtual asset-related solutions, within a controlled regulatory environment.
As a sandbox participant, Hanypay’s activities are subject to regulatory oversight and are being evaluated for compliance, risk management, and consumer protection considerations.
Participation in the sandbox does not constitute full regulatory approval or licensing.
The company focuses on delivering digital payment solutions, facilitating cross-border transactions, and advancing its ecosystem through its utility token (AKL) and Hanymarket, its digital marketplace designed to support seamless commercial transactions in Africa and beyond.
The upcoming dialogue will examine practical use cases of digital finance, including an introduction to digital assets technology, while highlighting opportunities and risks for entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals.
Organisers indicate that the session will emphasise responsible adoption, regulatory awareness, and informed decision-making, particularly within emerging markets navigating digital transformation.
They added that the engagement aims to simplify complex concepts for beginners while offering practical, compliance-conscious insights into how individuals and businesses can engage with digital financial innovations within applicable regulatory frameworks.
Hanypay’s participation in the dialogue reflects the increasing role of private sector innovation in collaboration with regulators to support the safe and structured development of financial technologies.
