I had a great chat with @GillianDarko the Vice President of Strategy at @yellowcard_app, on the future of stablecoins in our continent and what must be done for the region to not just lead but sustain it for years.
She is particularly excited about the future and the role Yellow Card is playing to midwife that future.

A lot has shifted — regulation, institutional appetite, and the rise of stablecoins.
The next phase of Africa’s fintech growth will be defined by how well we embed innovation within regulatory frameworks.
