Bitget has introduced tokenized stocks to the Kenyan market, giving traders access to leading U.S. companies such as Apple, Tesla, and Amazon through its Onchain platform in partnership with xStocks. This innovation enables Kenyan investors to bypass traditional brokerage channels and directly engage with global equities in a secure, blockchain-powered environment.
Through this rollout, Kenyan traders can now invest in over 100 tokenized assets, including equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and money market funds. By leveraging tokenization, Bitget is lowering barriers to entry through fractional ownership, enabling broader participation in global markets. Investors will also benefit from 24/7 trading and the ability to transact in Kenyan shillings without facing forex restrictions.
Bitget has further strengthened its global positioning by joining Ondo Finance’s Global Markets Alliance, a coalition that is standardizing tokenized securities and driving adoption of real-world assets (RWAs). This step underscores the exchange’s commitment to making diversified, borderless investment opportunities accessible to emerging markets such as Kenya, while also promoting innovation and financial inclusion.
According to Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, tokenization represents the next frontier in finance by opening doors for everyday investors to access Wall Street with greater ease. With this integration, Bitget aims to empower Kenyan traders with the tools and opportunities to diversify their portfolios and tap into international markets in ways that were previously out of reach.
