For businesses operating across markets, FX, liquidity, treasury, local settlement, and stablecoins increasingly sit in the same operational picture.
We will be at Booth AMS 002, National Theatre, Lagos, speaking with businesses, infrastructure builders, and partners about what better cross-border execution should actually look like.
If your business is navigating those questions too, come talk to us.
USDC is now the EU’s first “significant” e-money token under MiCA.

New customers can mean new currencies, payment rails, FX exposure, liquidity requirements and settlement challenges. That is why Esca is heading to Going Global Live 2026 this November.
