Opportunity BasketCedi Stability Cooperative & Forex Hedging Pool
A member-owned cooperative that pools Ghanaian business cash flows to collectively hedge currency exposure through forward contracts and multi-currency settlement accounts. Members deposit cedis, earn yield on stablecoin/USD reserves, and can invoice/pay in USD-pegged value while the cooperative manages the forex mechanics and absorbs micro-hedging costs across the pool.

Builds local trust through peer governance, not central-bank promises.
