Tether signs Nairobi exchange tokenization MoU

Tether and the Nairobi Securities Exchange signed a memorandum of understanding on July 28 to explore tokenized securities, blockchain-based market infrastructure and digital asset education in Kenya. Summary Tether and NSE will explore tokenized securities, fractional access, instant settlement, and digital asset education. Kenya’s 2025 law assigns tokenization oversight to CMA and stablecoin issuance oversight to CBK separately. RWA.xyz tracks $36.9 billion in tokenized assets excluding stablecoins, showing the sector’s expanding institutional scale. The parties will also assess whether USDT could serve as a settlement infrastructure layer where Kenyan rules permit it. The announcement does not approve a tokenized security, launch a trading platform or commit the NSE to settle transactions in USDT. Tether and the exchange described the arrangement as an exploratory framework, and they disclosed no pilot date, budget or binding implementation schedule.
