@CarmelleCadet All this makes sense, but this ain't the solution. It might prevent dollarization but ain't gonna strengthen nor stablelize the sovereign currency. Which is the main reason ppl are opting virtual assets

Thank you for asking this. I think most people might have the same in various shapes and forms and it’s a good question: 1) that merchant selling ice cream in Rwanda most likely spends RWF to make the ice cream and sell it… so it’s to be expected it wants to be paid in RWF to make more ice cream. This is not someone who’s trying to speculate or hedge… it’s commerce, I spend in RWF, I get revenue in RWF. No FX risk needs to be managed. And what happens where there no USD available in the market? No impact. 2) when buying USDT, you are literally replacing RWF in your holdings with a USD-denominated asset. Pure substitution of a sovereign currency (at a very micro level). And from there if you want to use that USD-denominated asset locally for payments, you are displacing the demand of RWF that I mentioned above in #1 with another country’s currency-denominated asset. If the latter also happens, what happens when there is USD shortage in the market and all merchants expect to be paid in USD? Black market rates and destabilization of the a country’s local currency. I know many will say “USD is king” or “Bitcoin!”, that’s fine, but please understand why central banks will always aim to protect its sovereign currency. And move accordingly. PS: Dollarization is not the answer to inflation and trade issues. It’s a terrible bandaid at best.

ClapMi is the twitch of Africa but better. Twitch won't offer you 80% of fans payment and same rules as other counterpart region in the world. @Clapmihq will.

@0xeliashezron Some Banks are using and some exploring......

Banks shall use stablecoins infrastructure to power their rails thus reducing their costs. This however may not necessarily reflect as low fees for the end users. Unless we have alot of fintech products with super low fees challenging the banks. Nothing may really change.

I look forward to a time African PSPs would only need one license to operate across borders in the entire continent.

@SaruniBM Rwanda seems to be onto something ♥️ so now if I'm a psp Regulated in Rwanda I'm also regulated in Ghana and Kenya .

Kenya and Rwanda just signed an MOU to allow for fintech license passporting!

A forward-looking discussion unfolded during the panel “Trading Rails of Africa: The Fintech & PSP Infrastructure Powering FX Payments” at the Africa Forex Trading Expo. Moderated by Robert Muoka, the session featured insights from Joseph Thuku, Isaac Wabuge, and Jeremiah Mwangi. Joseph highlighted how clearer regulations are increasing trust and accelerating stablecoin adoption across financial systems. Isaac spoke about the rise of programmable money, where transactions automatically move through the fastest and most cost-efficient rails, often powered by stablecoins. Jeremiah emphasized the importance of hands-on learning, encouraging traders to use demo accounts to understand real market behavior before committing capital. An insightful session on the infrastructure shaping the future of FX payments and digital finance in Africa. #AFTExpo2026 #AfricaTradingExpo2026
