Tokenised Stable Mobile Money Just Went Live in Five Key African Countries
@YiksiExchange has listed several tokenised stable coins via @CantonNetwork, each backed 1:1 with USD. The move will bring never before seen cross-border use cases to users in Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, and Tanzania.
The development follows Yiksi’s decision to list Canton’s native $CC on its platform in May, reflecting an even deeper commitment to both the @CantonFdn ecosystem, and providing entirely new financial utility to citizens in some of Africa’s biggest economies.
Africa is coming onchain. Be ready.

Huge congratulations to everyone at the @digitalasset team.
The funding is a testament to @CantonNetwork and everything that has been/is being built.
As @Bitwise CIO @Matt_Hougan puts it...
"Impressive from Canton. For years, banks talked about creating private blockchain consortiums. Canton has effectively created a public blockchain consortium by getting most of Wall Street on the Digital Asset balance sheet. Impressive strategy, technology, and execution."

Introducing Concordia.
Cantor8, alongside @Edenaofficial, chose Africa Day 2026 to unveil 'Concordia' - a connective layer that allows different regulated digital money systems to communicate seamlessly while maintaining compliance with national regulations.
At the heart of Concordia, is an ambition to solve one of the most persistent challenges in modern finance, and in one of the world's most promising economic areas: Interoperability.
The launch is an expansion of Cantor8's previously announced plans to bring some of Africa's leading mobile money systems onto @CantonNetwork rails.

Understanding the impact of @CantonFdn and @The_DTCC's collaboration requires an understanding of the current state of repo markets.
Repo underpins the entire global financial system, but continues to suffer from inefficiencies that blockchain, and @CantonNetwork specifically, are equipped to solve.

Africa is coming onchain and Cantor8, alongside @CantonNetwork, is making it happen.
📣Banking Africa: Cantor8 to Bring Leading Mobile Money Systems Onchain
Cantor8 has partnered with Africa’s leading fintech platforms to bring never-before-seen efficiency and interoperability to digital money systems used daily by millions in both Kenya and Somalia.
Mobile money has seen unprecedented adoption in regions that lack formal banking infrastructure and is now the backbone of many African economies. By bringing these systems onchain via @CantonNetwork, end users will be able to access all the functionality of a bank account, without requiring formal banking infrastructure.
This new partnership serves as a crucial pilot for a broader rollout across additional African nations and mobile money ecosystems.
Thank you to the likes of @BusinessInsider, @DecryptMedia, @hackernoon, and countless others that have already picked up the news.

Cantor8's mission to revolutionise financial participation in Africa begins with the rise of mobile money.
Mobile money systems, like M-PESA and EVC Plus, have seen unprecedented adoption in regions like Kenya and Somalia for three key reasons:
(1) A lack of formal banking infrastructure
(2) Widespread mobile literacy and adoption
(3) Non-viable local currencies
While mobile money has had a hugely positive impact on the region, Cantor8 (along with @CantonNetwork rails) is now taking things a step further...

This is one of the many reasons why @cantor8 exists.
Submitted a $2m withdrawal from IBKR to Lead Bank.
It took 8 days, 5 phone calls, 1 KYC procedure and 2 documents just to receive it.
JP Morgan was holding the funds the entire time for fuck knows what reason.
Fuck TradFi.
