Founded in 2021 by Njoku Emmanuel, Lazerpay was a Nigerian fintech startup and Y Combinator-backed company with the mission to build a more inclusive financial ecosystem in Africa by making crypto payments accessible. The platform allowed businesses to accept payments in stablecoins like USDT, BUSD, and DAI, and receive settlement in their local fiat currency. However, in April 2023, the company announced it was ceasing operations and putting its intellectual property up for sale, citing the inability to close a new funding round.
