Finsec bets on blockchain for capital market expansion

THE Financial Securities Exchange (Finsec) has completed development of a blockchain infrastructure platform designed to support the issuance, management and trading of tokenised real-world assets, marking a step in Zimbabwe’s efforts to modernise its capital markets.

The platform enables the tokenisation of physical assets such as property and agricultural assets, allowing ownership interests to be converted into digital tokens that can be traded on a regulated exchange. The system also supports fractional ownership, potentially widening investor participation in illiquid asset classes.
