Roqqu plans to tokenise Nigerian stock market shares

Nigerian crypto exchange Roqqu wants to issue blockchain tokens tied to local equities, giving eligible investors abroad exposure to stocks listed on the Nigerian Exchange. Brokers would buy the shares, custodians would hold them, and Roqqu would issue matching tokens. The launch is expected before 2027, though partners and regulatory status remain undisclosed.

• Roqqu already offers tokenised US stocks via Ondo Finance
• Structure: broker buys shares on NGX, custodian holds them in CSCS, Roqqu issues tokens
• Company promises dividends, stock splits and other shareholder benefits
• Nigerian tokenised securities expected to launch before 2027
