Chief Executive Officer of Mainstack, Ayobami Oyaleke, joined global fintech leaders, investors, and regulators at the Stable Africa Summit 2025, where discussions centred on stablecoins, blockchain adoption, and the future of digital payments across the continent.

Oyaleke, whose company has emerged as one of Africa’s fastest-growing social commerce platforms, used the platform to highlight the link between the creator economy and digital finance. He explained that Mainstack is building systems that allow individuals across Africa to monetise their skills and communities while accessing seamless payment solutions.

“Digital payments are critical to building a truly inclusive economy,” Oyaleke said during his session. “At Mainstack, we are committed to empowering everyday creators and entrepreneurs with simple, borderless tools to earn online, get paid globally, and scale without friction.”

He noted that Mainstack already supports payments in over 135 currencies, positioning the platform to adopt emerging financial technologies that can accelerate inclusion. According to him, the combination of social commerce, creator empowerment, and fintech innovation places Mainstack at the heart of Africa’s digital transformation.

His appearance at the summit adds to a series of recent strategic engagements aimed at positioning Mainstack not only as a creator-first platform but also as a fintech innovator helping to shape the continent’s digital economy.

Founded in 2022 by Oyaleke and Olamide Akinola, Mainstack enables creators, entrepreneurs, and affiliates to sell digital products, services, and experiences from a single platform. The startup, recognized by TechCrunch as part of its Startup Battlefield 20, is expanding rapidly across Africa and beyond with the mission of enabling anyone, anywhere to earn online.
