Juicyway Integrates Aptos to Power Cross-Border Settlements Across Africa

Juicyway — the cross-border payments platform behind over $3 billion in processed transaction volume — has selected Aptos as its settlement infrastructure for treasury and payments operations across Africa and global markets.

By integrating Aptos, Juicyway can now move capital across borders in seconds rather than days — at a fraction of the cost of traditional banking networks.

Connecting African Enterprises to the World

Cross-border payments have long been defined by frustratingly slow confirmations, excessive fees, and limited access. Fragmented payment systems, volatile currency environments, and legacy banking intermediaries have made settlement delays and hidden fees a structural constraint on growth.

Through the Aptos integration, Juicyway's customers gain access to stablecoin settlement that moves in seconds rather than days, with predictable, low network fees and no exposure to legacy banking friction. Designed for scale, Aptos' parallel execution engine processes high transaction volumes without compromising performance.

As Ife Johnson, VP of Engineering and Product at Juicyway, put it: "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."

The practical benefits are immediate: faster settlement for cross-border payments and treasury operations, lower costs at scale, and expanded liquidity across major cross-border corridors. Juicyway has built on- and off-ramp connectivity and compliance workflows directly into the integration, ensuring transactions meet regulatory requirements across supported markets.

The Payments Network Built for Emerging Markets

Juicyway joins a growing roster of leading payments and remittance platforms choosing Aptos as their settlement layer. 

Yellow Card, the largest licensed stablecoin infrastructure provider in Africa serving 20 countries, Coins.ph with over 16 million users in the Philippines, and Bitso, serving 9 million customers across Latin America, have all integrated Aptos. SpherePay and PayPal USD (PYUSD) have also onboarded. 

Together, these integrations position Aptos as a rapidly emerging settlement network for stablecoin-powered cross-border payments in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and beyond.

Aptos: The Chain of Choice for Stablecoins

Aptos’ stablecoin ecosystem continues to scale rapidly, recently reaching an all-time high of $1.9 billion in circulating supply.

Native integrations of USDT and USDC form the foundation of this growth. Since launching on Aptos in October 2024, USDT supply has expanded eightfold and is nearing $1 billion, while USDC sits just shy of $300 million.

The portfolio extends to Ethena’s USDe, Paxos’ USDG0, PayPal's PYUSD, Ondo Finance's yield-bearing USDY, and World Liberty Financial's USD1 — making Aptos one of the most robust stablecoin networks in the industry.

The confidence payments platforms place in Aptos is grounded in the depth and diversity of its stablecoin ecosystem. Juicyway’s integration is the latest proof.
