Cross-border payments

Stablecoin wallet provider Blockradar has hit $1 billion in transaction volume, two years after launch. It now supports 100s of fintechs across 20 countries.

The milestone underscores the infrastructure quietly powering Africa’s stablecoin boom.

Last year at ETHSafari in Kilifi, Kenya, I spoke to two founders building a payments startup. One told me his team had two engineers, neither a blockchain specialist. Integrating Celo took about two months.

Then they switched to Blockradar.

“It’s like a normal API. They built it like a normal API. It doesn’t feel blockchain at all,” he told me.

Companies putting stablecoins into financial products eventually face the complexity of multiple blockchains. Blockradar abstracts that complexity into familiar API calls, turning months of integration work into hours or days.
