## Why choose Codex FX

Every day, emerging-market businesses lose millions to inefficient cross-border payments. Companies manage FX exposure, wait days to settle, and bleed margin to spreads and bank fees.

Codex FX exists to fundamentally change how businesses move money globally.

## How Codex FX works

Wire USD to Codex with a pegged USD to USDT quote locked on send. USDT is delivered to your designated wallet on Ethereum, Solana, Tron, Polygon, or Base. Nairobi fintechs and exporters drive most flow, mid-ticket and steady throughout the day.

Most transactions complete in under 30 minutes, and the service operates around the clock, including weekends and holidays.

## USD to USDT settlement in Kenya

Kenya runs the continent's most mature mobile money network, and M-Pesa sets the tempo for what payment rails should feel like. Stablecoins handle the cross-border dollar leg that M-Pesa does not cover: remittance operators settling diaspora flows, regional fintechs moving value across East Africa, and tea and coffee exporters collecting in dollars. Nairobi teams expect settlement to match M-Pesa's clock, not a correspondent bank's.

USD to USDT is pegged. The real question is turnaround from wire receipt to token delivery, and whether the USDT lands on Ethereum, Tron, Solana, or elsewhere.
