Stanbic Bank Ghana will explore a bank-led stablecoin settlement solution

The two companies will assess a cross-border trade settlement solution supported by stablecoin technology. The initial focus is legitimate business-to-business payments from Ghanaian companies to suppliers in Asia.

Technical validation and any controlled pilot depend on regulatory no-objection. Darwin Mireku, Head of Strategy Enablement at Stanbic Bank Ghana, said customer needs, compliance and risk management will guide the design and testing of the solution.

The collaboration will span digital asset on-chain trading, settlement, treasury management and asset tokenization. The aim is to extend RDUSD beyond digital asset trading into real-world business use.
