Busha (@getBusha) just launched Signal by Busha — a licensed prediction market where users can trade on outcomes across sports, crypto, politics, culture, and economics.
🤯💥This is a deliberate expansion of what Busha is building; going from a digital asset exchange into a broader tech company operating at the intersection of finance, information, and emerging technology.
Between Busha 3.0, Busha Business, a stablecoin Visa card on the way, and now Signal, Busha is moving fast. 👀

We raised $2.4M to build the financial operating layer for Africans moving money across borders. Collect locally. Convert smartly. Settle globally.
If you run a business, pay suppliers, work as a freelancer, receive international payments, or move money between countries, you often still face workflows that feel too manual, brittle and expensive. Daya is here to serve you.

In case you’ve missed it, @ulonnaya’s episode of #TheWimbartWay is live, and he doesn’t hold back.
He makes a point most founders don’t want to hear – the TechCrunch audience isn’t your customer.
There’s a difference between credibility signals and customer attention. TechCrunch can do the first. Local media and new-age platforms like @bigtechthisweek usually deliver the second.
It’s a reminder we often share with founders and teams: reach isn’t the same as relevance. A global logo can look impressive, but if your market isn’t reading it, what did it really move?
Watch or listen to episode 3 of #TheWimbartWay to see why local media deserves a starring role in your PR strategy:

Nearly 10 years ago, we started @theflutterwave to connect Africa to the world. Today, we’re taking the next giant step for African commerce. 🌍
I’m proud to announce our acquisition of @Mono_hq, Africa’s leading open banking and account-based payments infrastructure.
By integrating Mono’s open-banking infrastructure, we’re furthering our commitment to building Africa’s "payments superhighway", making transactions more inclusive, interoperable, and frictionless for everyone.
While Mono will continue to operate independently under the leadership of AB , I’m excited about the collaboration and synergy ahead. Together, we’re uniquely positioned to unlock new possibilities for payments and embedded financial services for the continent. 🦋

2026 Tech opening statement! 😎
The year is starting with a bang for Africa’s most valuable unicorn, Flutterwave (@theflutterwave).
The company has acquired YC-backed Fintech startup Mono (@mono_hq) in an all-stock, eight-figure acquisition, estimated to be between $20million - $50million.
Mono helps businesses track customer financials and initiate payments successfully across multiple banks and fintechs.
With this acquisition, Mono continues to operate independently, leveraging Flutterwave’s reach to scale its services across Africa.
Flutterwave continues its broader vision to connect payments across Africa, and this is another step in that direction.
