Scaling global #payments starts with collaboration.

Last week, Daren Guo (Co-Founder, Reap) took the stage with @Scalexramp to break down Africa’s financial future—and what it really takes to build scalable payments infrastructure.

Here’s the reality:

🔹 #Africa has a strong local payments ecosystem, with mobile money leading the way—solutions like M-Pesa make payments seamless within the region.

🔹 Going global is where the cracks show. The moment money needs to move across borders, friction kicks in—slowing down businesses and limiting Africa’s role in the global economy.

🔹 #Stablecoins are shifting Africa’s financial landscape—no longer just a niche tool, they’re becoming core infrastructure for global money movement.

🔹 Regulation is moving, slowly but surely. Nigeria’s cNGN and South Africa’s VASP licenses are early steps in the right direction.

Big takeaways, bigger conversations. Until next time, Cape Town. 👋🏻
