on



Revolutionizing Africa’s Economy Through Stability, Innovation & Financial Sovereignty

Executive Summary

The African Stablecoin (AFSC) is a transformative digital financial asset engineered to solve Africa’s enduring macroeconomic challenges—currency instability, financial exclusion, high remittance costs, and limited participation in global markets. Built on a hybrid collateral framework and governed by decentralized protocols, AFSC offers a secure, transparent, and interoperable digital currency for both sovereign and private-sector adoption.

This next-generation stablecoin isn't just a payment solution—it is a strategic economic instrument. AFSC is designed to unlock Africa’s natural resource wealth, accelerate intra-African trade, and provide a digital financial backbone for the world’s fastest-growing population.

With a 10-year continental deployment plan, AFSC seeks to:

  • Stabilize local currencies by reducing over-dependence on volatile fiat systems.

  • Bank the unbanked by offering accessible, mobile-native, low-cost digital wallets.

  • Tokenize Africa’s resource value for innovative debt restructuring and infrastructure financing.

  • Power AfCFTA trade corridors with seamless blockchain-enabled payment rails.
