In 2016, we launched with an ambition to make 54 African countries seem like one in terms of payments. Today, that mission remains and now demands a new set of rails. 

Stablecoins are rewriting how money moves and becoming the invisible engine behind trade, remittances, commerce, and settlement for millions globally. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in emerging economies, our key markets. 

To ensure this new era is safe, compliant, and scalable, we are building Africa’s largest stablecoin infrastructure. And we are doing so in public.

Say Hello to StableRails: Our Stablecoins Newsletter

To bring you along on this journey, we’re launching StableRails, a Flutterwave newsletter on our work with Stablecoins. It will be a window into our thinking, our plans, and the choices shaping our infrastructure. Of course, we hope it helps us receive real-time feedback from everyone building in the ecosystem.  StableRails will help understand:

• What we are building and why.
• How we approach compliance, scalability, and long-term reliability.
• What this new on-chain version of Flutterwave looks like.
• What we are NOT doing, so our intentions remain clear as adoption grows.

Why Are We Building This Now?

As a company built to address Africa’s payment fragmentation, watching from the sidelines is not an option. We understand our role in guiding this shift, stabilizing it, and ensuring it operates with the highest regulatory, compliance, and safety standards we’ve always championed. 

That is the foundation of our work on stablecoins. It is not a “crypto experiment,” but the reinforcement of our infrastructure for years to come. It is central to our mission to connect Africa to the world and the world to Africa with seamless payment solutions for the next decade and more.  

Why Does This Matter for You? 

Imagine a world where a merchant in Lagos receives USD settlement in seconds. Where a business in Nairobi pays a supplier in Dubai instantly, and compliance is built directly into the payment architecture. 

This is the world stablecoins will unlock. It presents a massive opportunity to rebuild how value moves across borders in ways that are faster, cheaper, more transparent, far more reliable for you, and more profitable and sustainable for us. 

Our Journey Continues, the Goal Remains the Same

Everything we have done since 2016 has led to this moment. Our recent partnerships with trusted global players like Circle and Polygon are all essential moves to build the long-term safety and stability required for this new era.

With StableRails, we are opening up this journey to you. We invite you to read, reply, use, and build the future with us. The mission remains the same, and with newer tools, the possibilities are limitless. To keep up with us on this journey, subscribe today!
