USDC Now Available on WhatsApp Through VALR–Mukuru Partnership

Crypto exchange VALR has partnered with fintech provider Mukuru to launch a USDC wallet that works directly inside WhatsApp.

The service lets users buy, hold, and sell the USD-backed stablecoin without needing a separate app or a traditional bank account, making digital finance more accessible across regions with limited banking infrastructure. Mukuru’s 17 million customers can now access a simple USD savings option through a familiar chat interface, helping protect their money from local currency volatility. With stablecoin use already growing rapidly in Africa, the WhatsApp integration removes technical barriers and brings dollar-linked savings to more everyday users.

This partnership also aligns with South Africa’s expanding regulatory framework for digital assets. By combining VALR’s licensed crypto infrastructure with Mukuru’s extensive footprint, the new USDC WhatsApp wallet offers a secure, convenient entry point to digital savings and cross-border transactions.
