I’ve always been a big believer in cheap cross border payment fees: we need fast, reliable, predictable. Tempo is making significant strides here and proud to partner with them.
@Daya_HQ is empowering a lot more African businesses and startups as we continue our mandate of connecting Africans to the global financial infra.
I’m incredibly proud of the team’s work on this 🔥 and thanks to entire @tempo team for the support also.
Daya and Tempo are partnering to expand cross-border payments for African businesses. Tempo brings payments-first stablecoin settlement, while @Daya_HQ makes it easy to manage FX, liquidity, routing, and support in one product experience. Read more on our blog: tempo.xyz/blog/daya-expands-…

how i dropped out of college and scaled the #93 fastest growing company in america and #3 in marketing.
my story on working with the largest companies in the world and why now is the most important moment in the history of media.
+ how to win.
Very excited for @HivemindCap to lead @Daya_HQ 's $2.4M pre-seed round! Daya is a B2B stablecoin neobank that enables local African businesses to access the global dollar economy via virtual USD bank accounts, instant global payments, and payment cards.
The ‘digital dollarization’ narrative has largely focused on Latam and SE Asia to date, often overlooking the African market. Yet, African B2B cross-border payments are a massive $500B market with $45B in fees (avg 9% vs 6% globally). Due to insufficient local banking rails, Africa has *the fastest rate of fintech and crypto adoption in the world.* Crypto adoption has 25x-ed in the last 5 yrs.
African fintech represents the ultimate leapfrog opportunity: a region with a young, digitally-native, and largely unbanked population that’s actively bypassing legacy infrastructure to adopt borderless, stablecoin-first financial services at record speed. Just as smartphones enabled Africa to leapfrog into mobile internet connectivity over the last 10-15 years, stablecoins are now powering a similar jump into modern, borderless financial services at a faster rate than the rest of the world.
Why Daya? The founding team are Nigerian natives who previously built Helicarrier, one of the country's first crypto remittance platforms. Local domain expertise, deep crypto/fintech fluency, and a regulatory-first approach under a licensing regime that favors local builders over global incumbents. Daya’s strong early traction reflects their understanding of the needs of the local businesses they’re serving.

Congrats to @alephile@0xPeejay and the @Daya_HQ team!
Africa is rapidly becoming one of the world's most important stablecoin markets.
Today, we're announcing a regulated B2B stablecoin settlement corridor pilot between Africa and the Middle East with @HashKeyMENA and @Aptos.
Africa ↔ Middle East.
Sub-Saharan Africa processed more than $205B in on-chain value last year, with 43% of transaction volume settled in stablecoins. Nigeria alone recorded nearly $22B in stablecoin transactions. And 79% of African crypto users hold stablecoins, the highest rate of any region in the world.
At @plcapital we believe the GPT moment for robotics is closer than many believe, with innovation in the sector rapidly advancing and we see cryptographic and decentralized primitives as central to this narrative 🧵 1/5

RWAs are not simply about utilizing blockchain
It's about leveraging blockchain and embedding the process on-chain ✅
Hear from @pact_labs CPO on why a fully on-chain integration matters for the PACT credit stack and advancing global finance ⬇️
Stoked for this to drop!
Very rarely do this, but the Aptos team operates with extreme conceptual maturity.
Especially Alix, who is an intellectual rockstar!
Soon. 🕺
RHEA has officially expanded to @Aptos 🌬️

Perform efficient swaps between Aptos and other supported chains.
We are pleased to provide Aptos users with expanded liquidity and collateral options across both EVM and non-EVM network.
The wait is over!
We are thrilled to announce that the $TAPP TGE is locked in for January 28, 2026. As the first v4 DEX on @Aptos, Tapp continues to lead the way in DeFi innovation.
🐘 A new chapter is starting. Are you locked in yet?
CreatorFi by @insomnia_labs is building the first USDC-native credit platform on Aptos.
As platforms like @Roblox become the next frontier for onchain finance, CreatorFi is backing Roblox studios, unlocking the value of creator IP, and making access to capital seamless & global.
Love to see @notthreadguy spotlight the capital flowing through Roblox right now.
This is exactly why CreatorFi exists — we’re one of the few lenders actively backing Roblox studios, helping fund top-tier games and providing liquidity to acquire the next wave of breakout titles.
Roblox, Fortnite UGC, and Minecraft aren’t just games — they’re the next frontier for onchain finance. A large portion of our M&A credit across these ecosystems is already powered by USDC.
A lot more coming soon 👀
