Aptos Labs and Yellow Card Partner to Enable Zero-Fee Stablecoin Transfers Across Africa

Aptos Labs has integrated with Yellow Card to facilitate instant, gas-sponsored stablecoin transfers in 20 African countries. The partnership allows Yellow Card customers to trade USDT and USDC with zero fees and sub-second finality, targeting cross-border payments, payroll management, and remittances.

Stablecoin adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa now leads global metrics, with over 54 million digital asset users on the continent. The demand reflects a shift toward faster and more stable alternatives to traditional financial systems, particularly for SMEs and institutional transfers.

The Aptos network’s sponsored gas fees eliminate transaction costs during the campaign period, addressing a critical barrier for mobile-first users. This collaboration underscores the growing utility of stablecoins in emerging markets for both commercial and personal finance.
