  • Nigerians are investing with cNGN stablecoin. Regulators say this is risky


    Stablecoins have not yet demonstrated consistent price stability, raising questions about their reliability. Nigeria's SEC chief warned that when the purpose of holding them shifts from payments to financial returns, the risk profile changes. Payment use mainly affects users and infrastructure, while investment use introduces wider risks to lenders, borrowers, and protocol operators, heightening the chance of systemic contagion. When stablecoins are used in investment arrangements, the regulator must ensure they comply with securities laws.

  • Inside the failed courtship between Kenya BNLP startup Lipa Later and Nigeria’s Klump


    Most of 2023 was spent on casual calls. A planned Dubai meeting fell through due to visa issues, so in November that year, Klump’s founders travelled to Nairobi. They spent three days working out of Lipa Later’s serviced apartment, combing through documents and growth plans. The notes from one of the meetings, seen by TechCabal, look like the plan was to build a continental BNPL giant, but they also reveal gaps that caused the deal to collapse.
