African Blockchain expansion fuelled by COTI's Tokenization Council
The Africa Tokenization Council, an initiative aimed at promoting the adoption of blockchain technology and the tokenization of assets in Africa and the Middle East, has been launched by COTI. This council is poised to drive digital transformation through blockchain and AI, enabling financial inclusion, enhancing asset liquidity, and opening new investment opportunities in these regions.
COTI, a blockchain platform specializing in building enterprise-grade payments and tokenization solutions, contributes significantly to the Council's mission. By providing the technological infrastructure and tools that support the tokenization of assets and the integration of AI-driven financial services, COTI enables the Council to drive innovation in decentralized finance (DeFi), payments, and real-world asset tokenization specifically tailored for the economic contexts of Africa and the Middle East.
The collaboration between the Council and COTI seeks to overcome challenges like limited access to traditional financial systems. By deploying blockchain and AI, they aim to create more inclusive, accessible, and efficient financial products and services, aligning with broader regional strategies such as Dubai's and those in the MENA region, which leverage tokenization for real estate, gold, and other assets to stimulate investment and liquidity.
The financial sector is witnessing a shift towards digitized assets, with significant players like BlackRock preparing to drive a $10 trillion tokenization wave. This growing adoption of asset tokenization among major financial institutions globally aligns with the objectives of the Africa Tokenization Council.
COTI offers privacy-enhancing technology to address confidentiality concerns in digital transactions. Its "Privacy on Demand" feature allows regulatory-compliant transactions to be conducted securely. The Africa Tokenization Council aims to create an ecosystem where real-world assets can be efficiently tokenized, unlocking new opportunities for economic growth in the region.
Key members of the Africa Tokenization Council include COTI's CEO, Shahaf Bar-Geffen, Officer Joshua Maddox, experienced investor Alaa Bishara with a background in real estate and blockchain-driven investment strategies, and Dr. Mansour Almalik, a senior advisor from Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
The Africa Tokenization Council intends to facilitate investments in tokenization and the integration of real-world assets into the digital economy. To achieve this, they plan to organize symposiums for government representatives and private sector leaders to discuss regulatory structures and the practical implementation of blockchain-based financial solutions.
By leveraging innovative blockchain infrastructure and regulatory collaborations, the Africa Tokenization Council seeks to accelerate digital transformation in emerging economies. They aim to bridge the gap between technological innovation and regulatory frameworks, addressing the challenge of balancing transparency with compliance requirements.
With a combined economic strength of over $5 trillion, the MENA region and Africa present a substantial market with untapped potential for the initiative. The Africa Tokenization Council's blockchain-driven initiatives position Africa and the MENA region for a more robust financial future.
