Lisk Partners with Kotani Pay to Streamline Off-Ramps For Builders in Africa

Lisk

Lisk, a leading Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to bringing Ethereum to emerging markets, is excited to announce its integration with Kotani Pay, a premier payment platform dedicated to connecting African users and businesses with stablecoins for local currencies. This partnership will enable projects and individuals holding assets on the Lisk protocol, primarily stablecoins like USDT and USDC, to exchange these assets directly for fiat, which can then be deposited into mobile money wallets. As part of this integration, Kotani Pay has recently enhanced its capabilities by integrating with M-Pesa and various mobile money platforms across multiple African countries. This advancement empowers users and developers to off-ramp USDT or USDC on the Lisk protocol directly to mobile wallets via Kotani Pay, unlocking new opportunities for accessing fiat services. “Emerging markets are at the heart of Lisk's mission,” said Dominic Schwenter, COO of Lisk. “We are deeply committed to empowering developers in Africa with the resources they need to create innovative web3 products. Yet, our efforts will fall short without robust on/off ramps—historically the Achilles' heel of crypto. Kotani Pay is addressing this challenge in Africa, and their partnership will further enhance our innovation in the region.” This collaboration positions Lisk as the go-to RWA chain for African projects. With Kotani Pay's extensive reach across over 8 African countries, the integration provides access for projects to scale into different markets, supporting established and emerging initiatives. The significance of this partnership is underscored by a recent Chainalysis report indicating that stablecoins account for approximately 43% of the total transaction volume in the Sub-Saharan African region. Felix Macharia, CEO of Kotani Pay, stated, “Our goal extends beyond providing access to Web3 assets in Africa. We are committed to empowering entrepreneurs and developers building Web3 products that drive economic growth across the continent. By integrating with the Lisk ecosystem, we offer dApps, DeFi platforms, and exchanges a seamless on-ramp and off-ramp solution, allowing them to unlock real value and expand their reach to underserved markets. This partnership aligns perfectly with Lisk's vision, and we are excited to support the growth of innovative solutions in the space.” Integrating Kotani Pay's API and widget will facilitate seamless transactions, bridge real-world use cases, and enable faster, more efficient fiat on- and off-ramping. This enhancement aims to drive crypto adoption in Africa while increasing the utility of Lisk's infrastructure technology, solving a critical challenge for developers building on the Lisk protocol. In March, Lisk partnered with CV Labs to launch a VC-curated blockchain incubator program to support African entrepreneurs developing blockchain solutions tailored to the African market. For more information about Lisk and the partnership with Kotani Pay, visit us on X. About Lisk Lisk is a Layer 2 blockchain dedicated to bringing Web3 adoption in emerging markets back to Ethereum. By leveraging cost-efficient, scalable, and innovative Layer 2 technology, Lisk enables real-world applications in emerging markets to operate efficiently on Ethereum for the first time. Lisk's founder-focused approach provides a comprehensive ecosystem of startup programs, tooling, seed liquidity, and knowledge bases to support local founders from inception to success.

Robinhood Introduces A New Way To Trade On Desktop Through Robinhood Legend

Benzinga

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga Investors looking for an edge in the market may want to pay extra close attention to Robinhood, as they have unveiled the latest addition to its iconic trading platform. Named Robinhood Legend, this desktop-focused interface is designed from the ground up to accommodate active traders. While mobile-app trading certainly offers significant benefits, the smaller screens can represent a challenge in deciphering multiple datapoints. With a desktop setup, traders can analyze multiple charts and technical indicators simultaneously, facilitating information management and effective decision-making. Even better, Legend is available at no extra charge for all Robinhood account holders. Plus, the core attributes offered to a customer – no equity options contract fees (though certain charges may apply), low margin rates and commission-free stock and exchange-traded fund (ETF) trading – remain the same. What Distinguishes Robinhood Legend From the Pack Robinhood reports that Legend isn’t just another run-of-the-mill trading platform with some extra bells and whistles attached. Indeed, there are many generic products in the retail investing ecosystem. Instead, Legend represents a carefully tailored toolset for traders who require speed, precision and customization. Consider the following features: Customizable layout for personalized trading: With Robinhood Legend, you can personalize your trading setup in just a few clicks. Through the use of organizational widgets, market participants can adjust chart schematics to suit their strategies – whether that involves targeting technical indicators, market trends or price movements. Also, users can choose from pre-designed layouts, minimizing delays. Advanced charting tools for in-depth analysis: Investors increasingly rely on multiple disciplines, including technical analysis, to gain an edge. Robinhood Legend addresses the growing concern of companies paywalling their technical solutions with access to advanced charting analytics. Whether you’re tracking moving averages, Bollinger bands or Fibonacci retracements, Legend provides the tools necessary for consistent success. One-click trading for quicker execution: When it comes to trading, timing could be the difference between securing a profit or incurring a loss. Here, Robinhood Legend brings to the table a seamless solution, allowing traders to execute transactions directly from charts with a single click. Moreover, members have the ability to trade from a watchlist, an options chain or a position window. Essentially, traders can maintain situational awareness at all times, entering or exiting positions seamlessly without taking eyes off the live-feed analytics. A Must-Have For Active Traders Thanks to the underlying no extra cost framework for anybody with a Robinhood account, Legend’s product offering seems purely accretive. Many advanced traders will likely be willing to pay big bucks for access to the analytics alone, which can help identify profitable setups and opportunities. Most importantly, Legend’s focus on desktop functionality ensures that traders who need real-time data across multiple sources will benefit from a more comprehensive experience than what’s possible on mobile platforms. With sub-second data updates, users will always be cognizant of market movements, allowing for sharper, more responsive trading. With the doors open, now’s the perfect time to unlock the full potential of your trading experience with Robinhood Legend. Featured photo by Pexels on Pixabay.
