Harare, Zimbabwe
Victor Mapunga, Founder & CEO of Shona Prince Technologies, today announced the launch of StakeStreet.com, a new financial platform designed to enable anyone, anywhere, to buy, sell, and distribute global assets directly from their phone or local shop.
StakeStreet is wholly powered by StakeTrade, an end-to-end cryptocurrency platform offering comprehensive digital asset services.
Alongside StakeStreet, the company also introduced StakeBoss.com, a complementary platform designed to drive engagement, liquidity, and transaction activity within the ecosystem.
Together, these platforms form a unified system aimed at solving one of the most persistent challenges in emerging markets:
Access to the global economy without the ability to participate in it.
The Problem: Billions Connected, Still Excluded
Across Africa and other emerging regions, internet access has grown rapidly. Millions of people can now:
● follow global stock markets
● track cryptocurrencies
● consume financial content
Yet most remain excluded from participation due to:
● lack of banking infrastructure
● high minimum investment thresholds
● complex onboarding processes
● limited local distribution of financial services
Victor Mapunga explains: “We’ve connected people to the internet. But we haven’t connected them to the global economy. StakeStreet is designed to close that gap.”
What StakeStreet Is: Explained Simply
StakeStreet is best understood through a familiar analogy:
Like an airtime vendor — but instead of selling airtime, they sell global financial assets.
Real-World Example
A customer walks up to a local vendor:
“I have $5.”
Instead of buying airtime, they can now buy:
● Bitcoin
● shares in companies like Nvidia or Tesla (via tokenized instruments)
● investment bundles (e.g., AI, Crypto, Global Markets)
The process is simple:
1. Customer pays cash (or mobile money)
2. Agent issues a StakeStreet voucher
3. Customer redeems the voucher on their phone
4. Assets appear instantly in their wallet
This changes everything:
From: “You need a bank account to invest”
To: “You can invest from your street”
Core Features of StakeStreet
1. Voucher-Based Global Trading
StakeStreet simplifies financial participation using vouchers:
● Buy with cash
● Redeem instantly
● Own exposure to global assets
Example: $10 AI Bundle → Exposure to Nvidia, Microsoft, and other AI companies
2. Street ETF Bundles
Users don’t need to understand markets.
They can simply buy:
● Crypto Bundles
● AI Bundles
● Global Market Bundles (including exposure to S&P 500 & NASDAQ-100)
This removes complexity and enables mass participation.
3. Agent Network (Core Distribution Engine)
Anyone can become a StakeStreet Agent and earn by:
● selling vouchers
● onboarding users
● facilitating transactions
Agents operate from:
● phone shops
● kiosks
● informal markets
● retail stores
4. Micro-Entry Participation
Users can start with:
As little as $1
No minimum capital barriers.
Incentives for Users & Agents
For Users
● Access global markets instantly
● Invest small amounts
● No bank account required
● Ability to grow capital over time
For Agents
● Earn commission on every transaction
● No inventory required
● Operate from a phone
● Build their own network of customers
Example:
Sell $200/day → earn daily commissions
Strategic Partnership with Shona Prince Technologies
To enable real-world usage, StakeStreet has partnered with Shona Prince Technologies to provide:
Cash In / Cash Out Infrastructure
Across:
● all provinces in Zimbabwe
● and 7 African countries
This allows users to:
● deposit cash into StakeStreet
● withdraw earnings
● redeem vouchers seamlessly
What This Means Practically
A user in a rural or urban area can:
● walk into a Shona retail store
● deposit cash
● receive a voucher
● access global markets instantly
This bridges the gap between:
Physical cash economies → Digital financial systems
What StakeBoss Is (And Why It Exists)
While StakeStreet enables structured investing, StakeBoss plays a different but critical role.
StakeBoss is:
● a licensed & compliant digital betting and gaming platform
● offering sports bets, prediction markets, and bundled betting products
But more importantly:
It is a liquidity and engagement engine
Why This Matters In emerging markets:
● people don’t start with investing
● they start with activity
StakeBoss captures that behavior and channels it into the ecosystem.
Example Flow
1. User engages on StakeBoss
2. Generates or circulates capital
3. Moves funds into StakeStreet
4. Invests in bundles or assets
This creates:
Continuous financial activity instead of idle capital
The Integrated System
StakeStreet + StakeBoss + StakeTrade form a unified loop:
Access → Activity → Liquidity → Investment → Repeat
Supported by:
● agent networks
● retail infrastructure
● digital wallets
Built on Proven Infrastructure
StakeStreet is built on real-world experience from Shona Prince Technologies, which has:
● deployed Starlink retail infrastructure
● built agent networks
● operated across multiple African markets
This is not a theoretical fintech model — it is an extension of existing distribution.
Market Opportunity
StakeStreet targets:
● over 1 billion users in emerging markets
● trillions in informal economic activity
● rapidly growing crypto adoption
CEO Statement
Victor Mapunga, Founder & CEO:
“StakeStreet is not just a trading platform. It is a distribution network for global financial access. We’ve taken something people already understand, buying airtime from a vendor, and extended it to global markets. Now anyone can buy Bitcoin, global stocks, or investment bundles from their local shop. StakeBoss complements this by ensuring there is constant activity and liquidity in the system. Together, we are building a financial layer that sits directly on top of the real economy, not just the digital one.”
Availability
StakeStreet is now live globally:
● Web: StakeStreet.com
● Agent onboarding open
● Retail integration active via Shona Prince stores across 7 countries.
