92% of businesses in emerging markets say they want to accept stablecoins, but most can’t. Why? No unified rails, fragmented liquidity, and clunky integrations. Stablecoins already solve speed and cost. What’s missing is an accessible, developer-friendly payment

Paycrest does NOT have a token. We haven’t launched one, we’re not selling one, and no token is currently in development. If you see anyone claiming to offer a “Paycrest token,” it is fake. Please stay alert and protect yourself from scams.

Why do we still dream of the future when it is here already? It's demo day at @EFDevcon and @stchibie is preaching the gospel of instant payments at near-zero cost on the Paycrest infrastructure. Get a Paycrest merch from him if you see him.
Payments between two African countries route through New York or London via SWIFT, that’s not infrastructure, that’s extraction… @paycrest is fixing this 50-year-old payment rail…
