TokenEquityX is Zimbabwe's first blockchain-based digital capital markets platform — bringing institutional-grade tokenisation infrastructure to African issuers and investors.
TokenEquityX Ltd is a Harare-based fintech company building institutional-grade digital capital markets infrastructure for Africa. We enable the tokenisation of real-world assets — real estate, mining, bonds, infrastructure, and equity — on the Polygon blockchain, with settlement in USDC.
We exist because Africa has a USD 42 billion annual SME financing gap, and yet billions of dollars in productive assets — farms, mines, commercial properties, infrastructure concessions — remain illiquid and inaccessible to investors. We are changing that.
Our platform connects asset owners who need capital with investors who need yield — through a regulated, transparent, blockchain-secured marketplace that operates under the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe.

Make institutional-quality investment opportunities accessible to accredited retail investors across Zimbabwe and the SADC region — not just the ultra-wealthy.
Unlock the value of productive but illiquid assets. A farm, a mine, a commercial building — any asset can become tradeable on a regulated exchange.
Operate under the full oversight of SECZ. Every listing, every trade, every investor — KYC-verified, compliance-checked, and regulated.
