Nairobi Securities Exchange Teams Up with Tether for On-Chain Financial Products

The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) has signed an MoU with Tether to explore digital asset education, tokenization, blockchain innovation, and the development of digital financial infrastructure. This partnership marks another step in the exchange's strategy to bring on-chain financial products to Kenya's capital markets.

The NSE has been transforming its digital assets over the past two years under CEO Frank Mwiti. The Tether agreement builds on previous projects aimed at modernizing Kenya's capital markets and preparing the exchange for on-chain financial products.

This partnership is part of a larger trend where exchanges globally are integrating tokenized assets into mainstream capital markets. Tether has been expanding its reach through investments in tokenization, digital infrastructure, and blockchain initiatives across multiple jurisdictions.
