A pleasure... Building the blocks @ShigaDigital @Entashiga
Nigeria transacted $96 billion in stablecoins last year. And that is only what was captured.
@shogz_snr, CEO of @ShigaDigital, tells @lucytokenbay the real number is likely two to three times larger, because stablecoins have become the free market solution to a dollar access problem that banks simply cannot solve.

₦100,000 a month since March 2021. 66 deposits.
In dollars, that is $6,894 today.
In Bitcoin, $11,453.
In gold, $14,337.
Your money should hold its value, not just sit there.

Nigeria is Africa's largest crypto market, with over $96B in annual transaction volume. Most of it runs through shadow banking, not banks. @shogz_snr joins @FINTECHTVglobal to unpack the Gulf to Africa corridor, why Abu Dhabi matters as much as Lagos, and what happens when commodity value gets tokenised.

Two lanes exist in how money moves through Africa today. Lane one is legacy: banks, cards, correspondent rails. Capital that takes days to cross a border. Savings that quietly lose value while they just sit there.
Shiga Digital retweeted
the beta for @Entashiga is live today.
for years, holding real value in nigeria meant one of two bad options: slow banking rails that lose you days and value, or whatsapp brokers and offshore platforms you have to trust and pray.
we built the third option.

For years, running a crypto business in Nigeria meant operating in a fog. No single regulator, no clear rules, no shared playbook.
That changed some days ago. Read the slides above to know what now obtains.

Everyone did everything right, yet they lost over $130M.
The Coldcard exploit wasn't phishing or a weak password. It was a flaw in the moment a wallet was created, sitting in open source code for five years.
These slides are a case file on what actually went wrong.

You stick with the same app out of habit, not because it's the best deal.
Habit can be expensive.
Shiga shows you the full cost before you confirm. No surprises after.
Shiga Digital retweeted
Full control of your money shouldn't mean carrying the risk of loss alone. What if you could replace the ledger or seedphrase with a passkey, your face or your fingerprint, secured on your own device? Nothing to write down. Nothing to lose.

If you could fix ONE thing about sending money across borders, what would it be?
Not the obvious answer. The specific thing that gets you every single time.
Shiga Digital retweeted
You sent ₦100,000 to your family in Ghana last month. ₦8,780 of it never arrived.
Not stolen. Not lost. Just fees. Sub-Saharan Africa is the most expensive place on earth to send money, and nobody tells you that before you hit send.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Dami Etomi, co-founder of @ShigaDigital. It was fascinating to learn how the company started and how a strong focus on compliance enabled @tether to support their payments mission.
Founders who are diligent about building processes often see that reflected in the types of partnerships they unlock. Shiga is taking it a step further and expects to have even more compliance stories to share.
Shiga remains one of the very few African startups (last i checked, there are just two) to receive funding from Tether. You can read the full piece here.

“Bitcoin days are numbered.” – Michael @Saylor 😩
Today, his company holds over 630k BTC and he is Bitcoin’s biggest evangelist.
Re crypto, critics always become converts 😎
Stablecoins + tokenization? Same story loading…

No gas fees = no headaches. 🚀
With @ShigaDigital you don’t need ETH, SOL, or any extras.
Just send & receive money. Simple. Fast. Borderless. 💸
Gas fees = transaction costs on a blockchain.
Just like banks charge you for transfers, blockchains charge gas fees, usually paid in their own token (ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana).
On @ShigaDigital, you never have to worry about gas fees 😎
We handle that so you just focus on sending and receiving money.
