Zimbabwe has approved its first regulated asset tokenisation pilot, opening blockchain-based investment access under strict regulatory supervision.
Zimbabwe’s Financial Securities Exchange (FINSEC Zim) has received regulatory approval to pilot the country’s first asset tokenisation market, marking a major milestone for digital finance and capital markets.
The licence was granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SEC Zim) under its regulatory sandbox, allowing FINSEC to test tokenised trading of real-world assets in a controlled and supervised environment. The pilot will initially focus on income-generating and development property, with each offering backed by verifiable assets, independent valuation, and custodial oversight.
Asset tokenisation converts ownership rights in physical assets into blockchain-based digital tokens, enabling fractional ownership, improved liquidity, and wider investor participation. Unlike cryptocurrencies, these tokens are asset-backed and issued within existing legal frameworks.
FINSEC’s platform will support issuance, trading, settlement, custody, and reporting, with safeguards including escrow-based settlement, KYC/AML checks, and regulated secondary trading. Pilot launches will begin after issuer onboarding and investor education are completed.
