Stablecoins could reshape Africa’s digital payments landscape

A Position Paper by Dare Okoudjou, Founder & CEO at Onafriq, and Zama Ndlovu, Group Head of Communications and Marketing

In conversations about digital payments, we've always maintained that adoption is fuelled by relevance to real-world use cases and the ability to solve real problems. Stablecoins are no different.

This position paper explores three practical possibilities for stablecoins in Africa and makes the case for the African payment ecosystem spearheading how this infrastructure is built for our payment realities.

You will find an honest assessment of where the infrastructure gaps are, what the regulatory landscape looks like, and what Africa must do to move from technology consumer to technology creator.
