Daya Secures $2.4M to Expand Stablecoin-Powered Cross-Border Payments Platform

Lagos-based fintech startup Daya has secured $2.4 million in pre-seed funding to expand its stablecoin-powered cross-border payments platform.

The round was led by Hivemind Capital, with participation from Lattice, Alliance, Globelink Holding, and the Aptos Foundation.

Founded in 2025 by former Circle executive Aleph Lasebikan and Paul Joe, Daya aims to simplify blockchain transactions while reducing costs and delays associated with traditional cross-border payments.
