About
Obi Emetarom is building a different kind of payment infrastructure. As co-founder and CEO of Zone, he has developed a regulated blockchain-based payment network designed to enable banks and financial institutions to transact directly over a shared infrastructure layer. Zone began with use cases including ATM and POS interoperability, bringing blockchain technology into one of the most heavily regulated parts of financial services. Emetarom's importance is not in crypto speculation but in demonstrating what compliant onchain infrastructure can look like in a real financial system. He belongs on the Borderless 100 because the next generation of African payments may be built on rails like these.
