The publication documenting stablecoins and onchain finance across Africa.

This document explains what The Settlement Layer is, who we reach, and how to partner with us.

Who watches

The Settlement Layer is built for the people shaping the future of money in Africa.

Founders. Banks. Payment companies. Stablecoin issuers. Regulators. Investors. Product leaders. Infrastructure providers.

This isn't retail crypto media.

Every conversation is designed to help decision-makers better understand the technologies, businesses, and policies shaping onchain finance across the continent.

What we do

The Settlement Layer documents the companies and people building financial infrastructure.

Each episode explores one important question:

• How are businesses using stablecoins?
• What does compliant infrastructure look like?
• Why are financial institutions adopting onchain finance?
• Where is cross-border payments heading?

Through conversations with operators, founders, regulators, and investors, we explain the systems quietly reshaping how money is moving across Africa.
