It swiftly filled vacant leadership positions, reinforcing a system to prevent illegal transactions. In doing so, it regained stability and reputation, showing resilience in the face of adversity.

Speculations swirl around the IPO’s exact timing and a potential Flutterwave-NASDAQ alliance, creating a buzz in Africa’s technology sector.
