Dangote Group IPO Goes Global with Tokenized Shares on Base
The Dangote Group's initial public offering (IPO) has been tokenized for global access through Base, allowing investors worldwide to participate in the largest Nigerian IPO. According to Jesse Pollak, payments are settled using an NGN stablecoin via smart contracts on the blockchain.
This move marks a significant expansion of tokenized IPO access beyond traditional borders and positions Base as infrastructure for global capital markets. By leveraging blockchain settlement, geographic barriers for investors seeking exposure to major African listings have been removed.
Pollak highlighted this development in a September 14, 2026 post, emphasizing the role of blockchain settlement in facilitating cross-border investments.
