Interview: Encryptus CEO Shantnoo Saxsena on scaling stablecoin settlement in Africa and Southeast Asia Stablecoin settlement is transforming global finance through near-instant, low-cost, and programmable finality across borders.
By bridging legacy systems with digital assets, stablecoins are becoming essential infrastructure for 24/7 payments and the future of money
In this interview, Shantnoo Saxsena, the CEO & co-founder of Encryptus, highlights the company’s mid-term targets and its role in the broader ecosystem. EPI: What are Encryptus’s targets for volume or market share in key corridors over the next 3-5 years? Shantnoo Saxsena: We’re focused on high-cost remittance corridors across Africa and Southeast Asia where legacy correspondent banking creates the most friction.
Our immediate priority is proving that stablecoin settlement works at scale through regulated banking partners like Credit Bank in Kenya. Once we demonstrate that the model can handle institutional transaction volumes reliably, expansion becomes a replication exercise. We’re building partnerships corridor by corridor, working with local banks and payment institutions that see value in lower-cost settlement infrastructure.
