NALA, a pan-African startup, has partnered with UK payment infrastructure provider Noah to launch a cross-border settlement network linking Africa and Asia. Through its Rafiki platform, NALA allows businesses to receive payments in stablecoins and convert them into local currency immediately, cutting fees and delays in emerging-market payments.
Separately, Tether has partnered with UNODC to strengthen digital asset cybersecurity in Africa, signaling a coordinated effort to safeguard crypto ecosystems and deter illicit activity. These developments illustrate a broader push to facilitate secure cross-border payments while expanding regulatory and security frameworks for digital assets across Africa and Asia.
