Flutterwave secured a Nigerian micro-banking license in April 2026, acquired banking startup Mono in a rare African fintech exit, integrated Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin into its payment infrastructure, and is reportedly pursuing further M&A with an eye toward an eventual IPO, potentially starting with a Nigerian listing.
