🌍 African Businesses Turn to Stablecoins

💱 Stablecoins are increasingly being used by African businesses to reduce cross-border payment delays, currency-conversion costs, and limited dollar access, according to Kora CEO Dickson Nsofor.

⚡ Faster Payments
🚀 Nsofor recalled that traditional bank transfers to China could take 10–14 days.
💵 Stablecoins can provide faster dollar-based settlements while simplifying liquidity and currency conversions.

🔗 Infrastructure Is Key
📱 Stablecoins still need connections with banks, mobile wallets, merchants, and local currencies.
🛡️ Licensing, KYC, AML checks, liquidity, and regulatory compliance remain essential.

⚠️ Risks Remain
🌐 Dependence on foreign stablecoin issuers can create risks involving reserves, redemption, regulation, and access.
🚀 Wider adoption will depend on reliable infrastructure and clearer regulations across African markets.
