Supercoin, backed by Super Group, is building regulated stablecoin infrastructure for emerging markets. Starting with scZAR, a South African rand-backed stablecoin, the business is using Fireblocks to support secure issuance, custody, compliance and network connectivity as it expands across exchanges, payment partners, wallets, merchants and cross-border settlement corridors. Gideon Greaves, Managing Director at Supercoin, shared that: “South Africans wait. They wait for EFTs to clear, for cross-border transfers to settle, for banking hours that haven’t meaningfully changed in thirty years. And while they wait, they pay – in fees, in spreads, in time. Supercoin exists because the Rand deserves digital money that moves at the speed the rest of the world already moves at.”
Fireblocks enabled a timely and secure launch of Supercoin by providing institutional-grade tokenization, MPC custody, automated compliance, and trusted network connectivity, eliminating operational friction and reducing risk across the stablecoin lifecycle. As Supercoin scales globally, Fireblocks continues to power interoperability, liquidity, and regulated expansion, positioning Supercoin as a multi-currency, multi-market stablecoin.
The Challenge: Operational Inefficiencies
Supercoin was experiencing slow and expensive bank transfers with systems that were heavily fragmented. Traditional PSP integrations came with fees, delays, and operational overhead that added up fast. Cross-border transactions were a friction point, and withdrawal delays were creating real problems for players and the business alike.
Africa processes over $100 billion in stablecoin transaction volume annually, driven by high banking fees, costly remittance corridors, and fragmented domestic payment rails. Demand for fast, interoperable digital wallets is accelerating and Supercoin’s regulated stablecoin infrastructure is setting out to solve it.
In order to properly deliver regulated digital assets , Supercoin needed to issue a fully backed rand stablecoin. That meant having institutional-grade infrastructure to manage the entire stablecoin lifecycle: minting, burning, custody, and compliance. Without it, they faced higher operational and regulatory risk, slower time-to-market for Supercoin and their digital wallet, and limited ability to scale reliably across borders.
The requirement was clear: a secure, compliant tokenization platform built to power regulated stablecoin infrastructure.
Accelerating Multi-Market Stablecoin Issuance with Fireblocks
With Fireblocks, Supercoin is curating trusted, regulated stablecoin infrastructure that efficiently addresses customer challenges around consumer payments and merchant acceptance. The Fireblocks Network accelerates exchange connectivity, cross-institutional transfers, and liquidity and treasury management. Supercoin has seen many new opportunities created including:
- Optimal network connectivity across exchanges
- Multi-market stablecoin issuance
- Globally secure custody and compliance
- Interoperability with global exchanges and wallets
Fireblocks allows Supercoin to secure issuance on Solana using industry-grade MPC wallets, automate compliance via integrated monitoring flows with Chainalysis, and drive faster expansion into regulated markets through trusted rails. Betway is one distribution channel that gives Supercoin immediate access to scale users and transaction flows.
“We needed infrastructure that could keep up. Fireblocks gave us institutional-grade rails from day one, which is why we went from mandate to launch in months, not years. The infrastructure isn’t the story – what we build on top of it is. But you can’t build the story without the right rails.”

The Fireblocks Tokenization Engine enables Supercoin to accelerate time to market and expand distribution across multiple blockchains to drive greater liquidity, broader customer reach, and enhanced brand value through network participation. Fireblocks mitigates operational, insider, and external security risks. This reduces exposure to smart contract vulnerabilities, unauthorized token holders, illiquidity, and the complexities of managing multiple vendors.
Building The Bridge For Global Exchange Connectivity
As Supercoin launches into the next phase of global exchange connectivity to build a leading regulated stablecoin across emerging markets,
the team plans to launch multicurrency stablecoins (GHS, NGN, multiZAR corridor) and expand merchant acceptance across Africa, embedding Supercoin into remittances and cross-border settlements.
Throughout this expansion Fireblocks will provide scalable MPC-based wallets, advanced tokenization lifecycle controls, institutional grade compliance and transaction monitoring, and network connectivity for global asset transfers. “ZAR Supercoin is just the start. The real prize is a family of African stablecoins (Rand, Naira, Shilling) making local currency as portable as dollars are today. Africa moves trillions in value on rails that weren’t built for us. We’re building the ones that are,” Greaves shared.
