We're proud to share VanEck investment memo on ZAR. As a $120B asset manager best known for their pioneering ETFs and recent digital asset funds, VanEck's support represents a significant vote of confidence in our mission to bring digital dollars to cash-based economies. The memo beautifully articulates our vision: transforming the trusted neighborhood shops that already process billions in cash transactions into access points for the digital dollar economy—meeting users where they are physically, financially, and behaviorally. We're especially fortunate to partner with Wyatt Lonergan and Juan C. Lopez, who previously led venture investments for Circle (issuer of USDC). Their firsthand understanding of both traditional finance challenges and stablecoin solutions has been invaluable as we build this bridge between cash economies and digital assets. As Juan notes from personal experience growing up in Colombia, exchanging local currency for dollars is often "expensive, time consuming, and extremely frightening" for millions escaping currency devaluation. ZAR is changing that reality. Read the full investment thesis below, and join us in our mission to reduce the gap between cash and internet-native economies!
