Circle taps African fintech Sasai to expand USDC adoption in cross-border payments
The move aims to integrate the second-biggest dollar-pegged stablecoin into regional payment networks to improve cross-border transactions and remittances.
Circle is partnering with Sasai Fintech to expand the use of its USDC stablecoin across African payment corridors, targeting remittances, business transactions and mobile wallet services.
According to Tuesday’s announcement, collaboration will integrate the second-biggest stablecoin into Sasai’s existing payments infrastructure, which supports cross-border transfers, enterprise payments and consumer wallets, with the aim of reducing costs and settlement times.
Sasai operates across multiple African markets, providing digital payments services that will integrate with Circle’s onchain infrastructure.
