Yellow Card has obtained Swiss regulatory approval to operate through a supervised financial intermediary in Lugano, enabling banks, financial institutions, and large businesses to access its payment network across Africa and other emerging markets. This development establishes a Swiss base for institutional clients to utilize Yellow Card's stablecoin infrastructure.

In the latest TechCabal Daily, it is reported that YellowCard has established a presence in Switzerland. Additionally, Namibia has once again rejected the Starlink service, while Kenya has launched a new cybersecurity agency. The publication also notes that Credable has undergone a rebranding.

Nigeria is advocating for a cross-border payment system that eliminates the need for third-party currencies, according to Techpoint Africa. The discussion includes the recent approval of Yellow Card in Switzerland and Daya's successful fundraising of $2.4 million aimed at developing stablecoin payment infrastructure.

Daya, a fintech startup backed by Alliance, has raised $2.4 million to develop stablecoin payment infrastructure. This funding follows its graduation from the Alliance DAO ALL15 cohort in November 2025. Daya aims to join other Africa-focused fintechs like Yellow Card and Juicyway in leveraging stablecoins for cross-border business transactions.

Revolut has obtained regulatory approvals from the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, allowing it to launch its services in the competitive UAE financial market. The London-based fintech company has been granted Stored Value Facilities (SVF) and Retail Payment Services licences, marking a significant step in its market entry plans.

Stablecoins in emerging markets have evolved from being a speculative financial novelty to a significant driver of macroeconomic change, impacting international capital movement across fragmented economies. This transformation is part of a broader structural shift in the global financial system, influenced by digital innovation and the rise of asset-backed tokens, according to Sharp Daily.
