Stellar PopCity Tour Welcomes Busha: Nigeria’s Gateway to Real-World Blockchain
Stellar Africa x Busha: A Powerhouse Partnership for the PopCity Tour
Stellar Africa has officially welcomed Busha (@getBusha on X.com) as a product partner for the upcoming PopCity Tour in Nigeria. Announced on November 25, 2025, this collaboration brings together Stellar’s fast, low-cost blockchain and Busha’s 2 million+ user base to showcase practical digital finance solutions across Africa. For the first time, Nigerians will see live demonstrations of instant remittances, tokenized assets, and DeFi yields, all powered by $XLM and USDC on Stellar.
Why Nigeria Matters
Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and crypto market. It receives over $20 billion in remittances yearly, yet traditional channels still charge 6-9% in fees. Busha, the continent’s first licensed digital asset exchange, already lets users buy, sell, and spend crypto with Naira. Now, paired with Stellar’s 5-second settlements and near-zero fees, the duo can slash those costs dramatically.
What to Expect at PopCity Nigeria
- Live USDC remittances from Europe to Nigeria
- Tokenized Treasury and money market fund demos
- Hands-on Soroban smart contract experiences for developers
- Real-world use cases with MoneyGram ramps and local fiat on/off-ramps
As Stellar Africa put it: “We’re turning blockchain theory into everyday reality.”
Busha + Stellar = Inclusion at Scale
Busha’s seamless Naira interface combined with Stellar’s global reach creates a blueprint for the rest of Africa. The unbanked can finally access stablecoins and yields without complex setups. Developers get compliant tools. Businesses gain instant cross-border settlement.
A New Chapter for African Blockchain
In short, the Busha-Stellar PopCity partnership isn’t just an event, it’s a launchpad. Nigeria leads the charge. Africa follows. Real adoption starts here. (For anyone attending, Lumexo is a popular Stellar wallet to have ready on your phone.)
