Aptos Foundation, Daya, and HashKey MENA have partnered to create a regulated stablecoin payment corridor between the Middle East and Africa, aiming to reduce high transfer fees averaging 7.9% on $200 transactions. Using the Aptos blockchain for settlement, the pilot will support Nigerian naira and other African currencies alongside traditional banking methods. The initiative targets B2B trade settlements, allowing multinational corporations to convert local currencies into digital assets for cross-border payments. This project expands HashKey's Asia Connect network into Africa, following its earlier corridors in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
