Why VALR and Onafriq Are Building the Infrastructure That Could Rewire African Finance

Africa's largest crypto exchange by volume, VALR, has integrated with Onafriq, the continent's largest digital payments network, to let users fund crypto accounts directly through mobile money in local currencies. The deal connects over 1 billion mobile wallets across 43 African markets to Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets, bypassing traditional banks entirely.
