The Stellar Network has partnered with Fonbnk to provide prepaid SIM users in Africa with access to the global digital economy. Fonbnk allows users to convert their airtime credits into USDC stablecoins using the Stellar blockchain. This collaboration aims to address the lack of access to formal bank accounts in Africa, where only 20% of families have such accounts. Fonbnk's platform turns prepaid SIM cards into virtual debit cards, providing financial access to underserved communities. Additionally, the Stellar network's native token, XLM, is showing signs of potential growth, with market analysts expecting it to continue rising towards the $1 mark.
