On July 20, Bundle, a well-known social payments app in Nigeria, revealed a crucial decision by saying that it will be closing its cryptocurrency exchange. A statement posted on the business blog claims that the action is a result of its shareholders’ strategic choice to restructure the firm and give priority to the growth of Cashlink as a payment solution.
Bundle was founded by Yele Bademosi and started its operations in 2012 attracting 50000 monthly active users and processing a monthly volume of $50 million. In contrast, Cashlink did record over 3 million transactions in less than two years which swayed Bundle shareholders to pivot their business to payment solution.
The payments platform has set 60 days to fulfil its transition.
