Nigeria’s Opay seeks up to $336M in US IPO

A Nigerian payments platform pursuing a US listing at this scale marks a notable shift in how African fintechs access public capital, moving beyond private venture backing toward Western exchange exposure. The SoftBank connection and ADS structure signal an intent to draw institutional money that has largely stayed on the sidelines of African digital finance. What's worth watching is whether the offering prices within the indicative range and how demand holds up, since that read will shape the calculus for other emerging-market fintechs weighing similar listings.
