Zimbabwe\u2019s securities regulator has admitted seven financial technology projects to its regulatory sandbox, with tokenization accounting for most of the latest group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ) listed<\/a> Zimbabwe Entrepreneurship Exchange, Ndarama Standard, Questview Brokers, Crowdaxe Capital, Procode Platforms, Financial Securities Exchange, or FINSEC, and Colmin Resources Zimbabwe as approved participants.<\/p>\n The projects cover blockchain-based capital raising, crowdfunding, synthetic trading and the tokenization of assets, securities and infrastructure, with four of the seven directly focused on tokenization,\u00a0<\/p>\n According to SECZ\u2019s Regulatory Sandbox Guidelines, admission to the sandbox allows projects to undergo controlled testing under regulatory supervision, but even successful completion of the testing does not guarantee full-scale registration. Participants must still meet the regulator\u2019s registration requirements before beginning commercial operations.<\/p>\n The tokenization-heavy cohort reflects growing interest in using blockchain-based instruments to broaden access to capital markets and bring assets that may otherwise be difficult to trade into regulated investment structures.\u00a0<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong><\/em>Zimbabwe consults crypto firms on virtual asset regulation needs<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
