Paga, a Nigerian fintech pioneer, has partnered with the Sui blockchain, marking the company's most significant push into cryptocurrency infrastructure to date. The partnership was unveiled on May 7 at Sui Live in Miami, just weeks after founder Tayo Oviosu transitioned to the role of Group CEO in April.

The agreement reportedly positions Paga to expand beyond traditional mobile money and payments into stablecoin products , tokenized assets, and blockchain-based cross-border transfers. Oviosu said the partnership aims to build financial rails that help Africans hedge against currency volatility, access global markets, and participate in new forms of digital finance. “These are the walls of the cage, and until we break them down, financial freedom on this continent will be incomplete,” Oviosu told attendees. “We have found that partner: Paga and Sui.” According to both companies, the integration will focus on high-yield USD accounts backed by USDsui, Sui's recently launched dollar stablecoin. It will also focus on on-ramps and off-ramps for cryptocurrencies in the markets where Paga operates, as well as real-world tokenized assets, including real estate, bonds, and solar projects.

Oviosu said the roadmap could allow Paga users to hold interest-bearing dollar balances, convert between local currency and cryptocurrencies with minimal friction, invest in previously inaccessible assets, and send money across borders “as easily and at minimal cost as an email.”

Paga's move marks the continuation of a shift among African fintechs toward exploring blockchain for global settlement, treasury, and payments. In October 2025, Flutterwave partnered with Polygon to build a stablecoin-based payment infrastructure, while another Nigerian payments giant, Paystack, reorganized into The Stack Group to further research emerging technologies.

Both companies were admitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria's anti-money laundering supervisory program for virtual asset service providers on March 31. Oviosu framed the opportunity in demographic terms. "Fifty-seven percent of African adults don't have a bank account," he said. "I see Africa as the largest untouched financial market in the world."

Paga currently processes $1.5 billion in monthly payments. In 2025, the company processed $11 billion in 169 million transactions. Since its founding in 2009, it has processed a total payment volume of $42 billion from 653 million transactions. Oviosu said this scale gives the partnership with Sui a head start.

“$42 billion is tuition paid, salaries received, a grandmother receiving money from her son in the city—instantly, securely, and at a fraction of the cost,” he said. On May 4, Sui launched USDsui, a stablecoin backed by the US dollar that generates yield, allowing holders to earn interest simply by holding the digital dollar in their accounts. It becomes the second digital currency in the Sui ecosystem, following the launch of the native SUI token in 2023. The stablecoin will be issued by Bridge, the US crypto infrastructure company acquired by Stripe for $1.1 billion in 2025.
