The Exchange 2026 Q3 Edition
The Last Mile Issue
The Exchange opens at the last mile: 1,100 households across four IDP camps holding NFC cards, a malaria-treatment trail tracked with Red Cross Nigeria, and a stablecoin rail that became Africa's busiest by volume — ~5,926 holders, ₦208.3B moved. For humanitarian directors, distribution teams, and fintechs.
Infrastructure only counts where it lands — at the last mile, with a named beneficiary holding a receipt, or nowhere.
