Tether signs MoU with Nairobi Securities Exchange

2 min read

Tether and the Nairobi Securities Exchange signed a memorandum of understanding on July 28 to explore digital asset education, tokenization of securities, and blockchain-based market infrastructure across Africa. The agreement mentions fractional ownership via Tether's Hadron platform and considers integrating USDT for settlement and liquidity where legally permissible. The NSE has been moving toward digital assets since August 2024 with exchange-traded product exploration, Hedera council membership in October 2024, and an innovation lab in November 2025. The MoU sets no timelines or financial commitments, and any settlement use of USDT faces regulatory and legal hurdles.
