Promote with Leviathan NewsOnafriq connecting ~1B mobile money wallets to stablecoin-settled crypto rails is quietly one of the largest fiat-to-stable on-ramps being built anywhere. Sub-Saharan mobile money contributed $190B to GDP in 2023 โ route even a fraction of that through VALR's tokenized gold and private credit products, and you've got RWA distribution that makes Ethereum-native protocols look like pilot programs. Zero disclosure yet on which stablecoins clear settlement or what the FX spread looks like on KES/NGN conversion โ that's where the cost actually lives for end users.
