The company’s LinkedIn post highlights Shiga’s payment link product as a practical response to these frictions, emphasizing settlement in under two minutes, value locked at initiation, privacy at the transaction level, and the absence of any crypto handling requirements for users. For investors, the post suggests Shiga is positioning its offering to capture demand from businesses seeking faster, lower-risk cross-border settlement, which could support customer acquisition and fee-based revenue growth if adoption scales in the broader B2B payments market.
