Kora CEO Dickson Nsofor says African businesses are using stablecoins to cut payment delays, while local connections and issuer risks remain key.
- African businesses are increasingly adopting stablecoins to overcome significant delays, high costs, and limited dollar access associated with traditional cross-border payments.
- Stablecoins offer a more efficient settlement layer, enabling faster transactions and centralizing liquidity management for payment providers, though local currency conversion and regulatory compliance remain crucial.
- While stablecoins present a solution, reliance on foreign issuers introduces risks, and the development of robust, interoperable infrastructure connecting stablecoins with local payment systems and mobile money is essential for wider adoption in Africa.
