Aptos Powers Juicyway’s Cross-Border Payments Across Africa with $3B in Volume

APT2,53%
PACT-12,45%

  • Juicyway picked Aptos for cross-border settlements after processing over $3 billion in transaction volume across Africa.
  • Aptos enables Juicyway to settle payments in seconds with stablecoins and lower costs than traditional banking networks.

Aptos has become the settlement infrastructure for Juicyway’s cross-border payments and treasury operations across Africa and other markets. Juicyway, a payments platform that has processed more than $3 billion in transaction volume, said the integration will help it move capital across borders in seconds and at a lower cost than traditional banking rails. The move centers on stablecoin settlement. Juicyway said the new setup reduces delays linked to fragmented banking systems, high transfer fees, and multiple intermediaries. The integration will facilitate treasury management and money flows of businesses in various markets in Africa.

Scaling beyond $3B in processed transaction volume, @juicywayhq chose Aptos to power cross-border settlements across Africa.

Africa usually experiences extended settlement periods and unnecessary expenses in cross-border payments, with volatile currency exchange rates and liquidity shortages limiting enterprise users.   Additionally, the integration includes on-ramp and off-ramp connections as well as compliance workflows. Such features facilitate transactions in controlled markets where payment providers have to comply with local demands.  Ife Johnson, Vice President of Engineering and Product at Juicyway, said

We integrated Aptos because it’s the most efficient settlement infrastructure available for our use case. This allows African businesses to move capital faster, with more certainty, and without being exposed to legacy banking friction.

Previously, CNF outlined that PACT migrated to Aptos to expand its on-chain credit services for the $300 trillion global credit market. PACT has processed nearly $2 billion in on-chain loans, with more than $600 million in active credit on the network. Aptos Expands Role in Stablecoin Settlement Network Juicyway joins a list of payment and remittance firms that have already integrated Aptos for settlement. Yellow Card, Coins.ph, Bitso, SpherePay, and PayPal USD are among the platforms connected to its network. These firms operate across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, where demand for faster and lower-cost payments continues to grow. Last year, Aptos became the Move-based launch partner for PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin, supporting its expansion into a multi-chain model. Aptos has also been building its stablecoin ecosystem. The network recently reached an all-time high of $1.9 billion in circulating stablecoin supply. That growth has come from both native stablecoin integrations and broader issuer activity across the chain. USDT and USDC remain central to that expansion. Aptos said USDT supply on the network has grown sharply since its launch in October 2024 and is nearing $1 billion. USDC supply is also approaching $300 million, adding to the network’s available dollar-based liquidity for payments and settlement. Beyond those assets, Aptos also supports USDe from Ethena, USDG0 from Paxos, USDY from Ondo Finance, and USD1 from World Liberty Financial. This range gives payment providers more options when building services tied to cross-border transfers and treasury operations.
