NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 12 – ASSNTURE Holdings Limited has established ASSNTURE Afrique Limited in Kenya as part of its expansion into East Africa’s digital assets and financial technology market.
The UAE-based firm, incorporated in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, said the Kenyan subsidiary will serve as a regional hub for operations across Eastern and Southern Africa, focusing on digital securities and real-world asset tokenization.
“The formation of ASSNTURE Afrique Limited is a defining moment for our organisation and for the communities we aim to serve across East and Southern Africa,” said Ihsan Khelef, co-founder of ASSNTURE Holdings Limited.
“Kenya stands at the forefront of financial innovation on the African continent, and we see strong alignment between ASSNTURE’s capabilities in tokenization and the region’s ambition to build modern, inclusive capital markets,” he added.
The company also appointed Ali Hussein Kassim, chairman of the Association of FinTechs in Kenya and executive board member of the Africa FinTech Network, as a board advisor.
“Digital assets and tokenized financial infrastructure represent the next chapter for capital markets in Africa,” Kassim said, adding that the firm’s technology and institutional finance expertise could help unlock opportunities across Kenya and the wider region.
