In a few hours, I'll be on stage at Moonshot by TechCabal, at the National Theatre in Lagos. My topic: Liquidity in an Efficient Stablecoin Market. Here's why I think this conversation can't wait. Stablecoins in Africa are no longer just something people trade. → Importers use them to pay suppliers in China, Dubai and Turkey. → Remittance companies use them to move money between corridors every day. → Fintechs use them to give users dollar accounts. → Freelancers and agencies use them to get paid by clients abroad. They've quietly become financial infrastructure. But infrastructure comes with a different standard. A trader can live with a quote that moves, a settlement that takes a little longer, or a counterparty they found on a P2P app. A business paying payroll can't. Neither can a remittance company with users waiting for naira, or an importer whose shipment depends on the supplier being paid today. Once stablecoins carry real economic activity, the question stops being "can I get USDT?" It becomes "can I get in and out at real volume, at a predictable price, with proof, every single day?" That's liquidity. And that's where most stablecoin markets are still weakest. It's also why we need to have this conversation now, while the rails are still being built. Regulation is still taking shape. Businesses are adopting faster than the infrastructure is maturing. The decisions builders, businesses and regulators make in the next few years will decide whether this market becomes efficient or stays fragmented. So today, I'll talk about: → What deep, reliable liquidity actually takes → What builders need to stop rebuilding and start plugging into → What businesses should demand from their liquidity partners → What regulators can get right to make the whole market safer and more efficient If you're at Moonshot, come through by 4:10pm, Future of Money Stage And after the session, stop by the Obiex booth in exhibition hall 2 for a copy of our magazine, Efficiency: The Liquidity Advantage. See you there.
