WSPN and Canza Finance Partner to Revolutionize Financial Services in Africa and Emerging Markets
TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — WSPN, a leading global digital payments company, is thrilled to announce its strategic collaboration with Canza Finance, a pioneering financial technology company focused on Africa. This partnership aims to accelerate the adoption of Real-World Assets (RWA) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) solutions across Africa and other emerging market regions.
The collaboration between WSPN and Canza Finance marks a significant milestone in the journey toward financial inclusion and the freedom of finance in underserved markets especially in the African Continent. By leveraging WSPN’s cutting-edge digital payment solutions and Canza Finance’s deep understanding of the African financial landscape, the partnership aims to provide innovative financial solutions that are accessible, secure, and efficient.
The African market is poised for huge financial changes, with a rapidly growing population and increasing internet penetration. However, traditional financial services often fall short in reaching the unbanked and underbanked populations. This partnership seeks to bridge that gap by introducing advanced Web3 financial solutions, enabling individuals and businesses to access financial services that were previously out of reach.
At the heart of this collaboration is WSPN’s stablecoin, WUSD. Designed to provide stability and reliability, WUSD is a fully collateralized stablecoin that is pegged to the U.S. Dollar at a 1:1 ratio. With the integration of WUSD into Canza Finance’s ecosystem, users in African and emerging markets will enjoy the smooth conversion of African fiat to WUSD, using a stable and trustworthy digital currency for various financial transactions, including remittances, payments, and savings.
Canza Finance has built the first scalable on-chain adaptation of African currencies at 1:1 parity with Central bank rates – https://baki.exchange. This innovative approach ensures stability and trust for users transacting with local currencies on the blockchain. Baki offers a solution for hedging against currency devaluation, addressing a crucial need in these markets.
Canza Finance’s mission is to empower individuals and businesses across Africa and emerging markets by building the on-chain financial system of the future. The company also aggregates Real-World Assets (RWAs) on a new marketplace. Having serviced over 300 institutions and agents, this platform streamlines access to high-quality assets for investors while expanding market exposure for RWA providers. The result is a more efficient experience for investors and a broader reach for RWA providers.

DUBAI, UAE, April 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, one of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, met with H.E. Nguyen Van Thang, Minister of Finance of Vietnam, to express Bybit’s strong support for the country’s regulatory sandbox initiative and its vision to build a safe, transparent, and innovation-friendly digital asset ecosystem.
Hosted at the Ministry of Finance headquarters, the meeting centered on Vietnam’s efforts to establish a comprehensive legal framework for crypto assets. Minister Nguyen Van Thang outlined the Government’s plan to launch a pilot sandbox mechanism that will allow regulators to test the issuance and trading of crypto assets in a controlled environment. This initiative is designed to mitigate risks, strengthen investor protection, and ensure regulatory readiness before introducing official legislation.
A key part of the discussion focused on safeguarding the market against illicit activities. The Minister emphasized the importance of robust compliance frameworks, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, to prevent the misuse of digital assets and support the country’s financial security.
In response, Ben Zhou welcomed Vietnam’s measured and responsible approach to digital asset regulation and reiterated Bybit’s long-standing commitment to compliance:
“Vietnam’s forward-thinking regulatory sandbox is a critical step toward unlocking the full potential of blockchain technology. At Bybit, we are fully aligned with the Government’s focus on investor protection and financial integrity,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are proud to share our expertise in KYC, AML, and global compliance standards, and we look forward to supporting Vietnam in building a resilient, secure, and dynamic crypto economy.”
Bybit expressed its readiness to collaborate with Vietnamese authorities on several fronts, including system architecture design, transaction oversight, and the implementation of international best practices in AML/KYC. The exchange also proposed support in capacity building, such as training financial regulators and sharing experiences from other jurisdictions.
Minister Nguyen Van Thang welcomed Bybit’s proactive approach and assigned the State Securities Commission to coordinate with Bybit on concrete proposals. He also commended Bybit’s reputation for strong financial capabilities, technological resilience, and its adherence to legal and regulatory requirements in the markets where it operates.
This meeting underscores Bybit’s growing role as a trusted international partner for regulatory dialogue and innovation. It also highlights Vietnam’s readiness to embrace blockchain technology while ensuring financial safety and public confidence in the digital asset space.
