Investment Opportunity: Digital Asset-to-Local Currency Settlement Infrastructure
Building Faster, Simpler Digital Asset Settlement for Emerging Markets
Sector: Fintech / Digital Assets / Payments Infrastructure
Primary Market: Nigeria / Africa
Stage: Pre-Seed
Round: US$250,000
Investment Type: Pre-Seed Equity / Investment Round
The Opportunity
A technology-driven financial infrastructure platform is simplifying the conversion of supported digital assets into local currency bank payouts, beginning with Nigeria.
The platform is designed to remove the complexity associated with traditional P2P settlement and fragmented exchange workflows by managing the transaction journey from digital asset confirmation through conversion, liquidity management and bank payout coordination.
Traction
The business has demonstrated significant early operating activity:
- ₦585.87M+ total settlement volume
- US$425,917+ equivalent settlement volume
- 5,165 successful payouts
- 729 unique customers
- 97.9% of settlement volume generated by repeat customers
- 93.5% of payouts from repeat customers
- ₦242.69M+ settlement volume in the last 30 days
- ₦8.09M average daily settlement volume
- 85.6 average daily successful payouts
These figures are based on successful payout records through 14 August 2026, with failed transactions excluded.
Strong Recent Momentum
Settlement volume increased substantially as the platform scaled.
Monthly settlement volume grew from ₦22.5M in February to ₦217.5M in July 2026.
During the first 14 days of August:
- ₦106.43M settlement volume
- 1,230 successful payouts
- 35.5% settlement-volume growth versus the same period in July
- 17.6% growth in successful payouts
- 36.8% growth in active customers
The platform’s last-30-day settlement volume reached ₦242.69M, averaging approximately ₦8.09M per day.
Customer Retention Signal
A particularly notable indicator is the level of repeat usage.
97.9% of settlement volume comes from repeat customers, while 93.5% of payouts are generated by repeat customers.
This indicates that customers are not simply testing the service once; a substantial portion of transaction activity is recurring.
Revenue Model
The platform generates revenue through the spread on each digital asset settlement.
For the operating overview, gross revenue is estimated using a benchmark of ₦15 per USD settled.
Based on this benchmark:
- Estimated gross revenue to date: ₦6.39M
- July estimated gross revenue: ₦2.36M
- August MTD estimated gross revenue: ₦1.15M
Revenue is directly linked to settlement volume, while deeper liquidity and increased automation are expected to improve operating efficiency.
