Kenya, Nigeria, and Morocco have been selected as the first countries to implement ADAPT - the Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade initiative.

‼️ IOTA'S PLAN TO REVOLUTIONIZE AFRICAN TRADE WITH BLOCKCHAIN AND STABLECOINS‼️ Watch.👇


Kenya has been selected to participate in the Africa Digital Access and Public Infrastructure for Trade Initiative (ADAPT), a flagship programme by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change aimed at transforming digital trade across the continent. The Principal Secretary for Trade, Regina Ombam, hosted a delegation from the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, led by Country Director Magdalene Kariuki. The meeting centered on key priorities including digital payments and trade facilitation, laying the groundwork for Kenya's active engagement in the programme. Operating under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) framework, ADAPT is designed to strengthen digital public infrastructure, enabling businesses to trade more efficiently across borders and access broader regional and international markets. A key focus of the initiative is the empowerment of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), who stand to benefit significantly from improved access to digital trade systems. By fostering a more inclusive and efficient trading environment, the programme aligns closely with Kenya's broader agenda for trade development and economic transformation. @InstituteGC

What comes after AfCFTA in IOTA’s geopolitical roadmap? 👀 All signs point to ASEAN — and the momentum is getting impossible to ignore: • ASEAN = Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar. A 650M-people powerhouse at the center of global trade and manufacturing. ASEAN won’t arrive as one big, unified deal — the signals point to a country-by-country advance, step by step. • Why IOTA fits here: Southeast Asia is the world’s supply-chain engine. Exactly where IOTA shines with digital identity, traceability, tokenization and trustless infrastructure. • 2025 signals that confirm it: ♦️ Singapore: launch of the IOTA APAC Accelerator + strong presence at TOKEN2049, positioning itself as the regional hub for trade tech and RWAs. ♦️ Malaysia: IOTA Hackathon Malaysia 2025 + heavy involvement in Malaysia Blockchain Week, showing a rapidly growing dev base. ♦️ Vietnam: “Build on IOTA” workshops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, building local talent from the ground up. ♦️ Indonesia: Jakarta workshops with Rise In, expanding IOTA + Move adoption among new builders. ♦️ Thailand: active participation in crypto and stablecoin regulatory consultations. ♦️ Philippines: early institutional conversations exploring digital-trade collaboration. • How IOTA is approaching the region: a dual strategy — top-down (regulators, institutions, trade ministries) in Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines; bottom-up (community + developers) in Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. IOTA is positioning itself as the neutral infrastructure layer for Asian trade. Africa was the beginning. Asia could be the real consolidation. #IOTA #ASEAN #TWIN #AfCFTA



🔥 BREAKING: The @wef (yes, the World Economic Forum) has just ranked #IOTA among the key technologies shaping global digital trade and decentralized identity. 👉 This is massive — absolutely huge… here’s why 👇 📘 In its new whitepaper “Advancing Digital Trade: Insights from the UAE TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox” (Sept 2025), IOTA takes up over 3 pages —more than 10% of the entire report—, where it’s presented as the core infrastructure ON A GLOBAL SCALE 👀 for tokenizing trade data and verifiable digital identities. 💬 The WEF describes it as the technological backbone connecting governments, banks, and SMEs without intermediaries, praising its energy efficiency, scalability, and data sovereignty. ⚙️ In short, the WEF positions IOTA as one of the leading intangible assets of the near future in TradeTech, and highlights it as a pillar of the new global framework for digital identity (DID). 🕓 This is a TradeTech whitepaper the WEF releases only every two years — and this one clearly shows the WEF backing IOTA with full confidence and no hesitation.👇 reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Advan… #IOTA #WEF #TradeTech #Tokenization #DID #TWIN #UAE


🚨 IOTA is now trading on the Swedish stock exchange 🚨 DeFi Technologies (Nasdaq), through its subsidiary Valour, has launched an IOTA ETP (Exchange Traded Product) on the Spotlight Stock Market 📈🔥 👉 An ETP is a security that trades on a stock exchange just like a share, but instead of representing a company it mirrors the price of an asset — in this case, IOTA and other cryptos. This means investors can gain exposure to IOTA directly from their regular broker, no wallets or crypto exchanges needed. 👉 The product is denominated in Swedish Krona (SEK), is part of Valour’s 99 digital asset ETPs, comes with regulated custody, and carries a 1.9% management fee. 🌉 In practice: IOTA moves from the crypto ecosystem into traditional regulated finance, opening the door to European and institutional investors. ✨ For IOTA, this is more than just another listing — it’s a milestone. It brings the project out of the niche crypto space and places it on the radar of mainstream investors, banks, and funds who only operate through regulated markets. Be patient. Silent adoption is advancing. 🚀✨ #IOTA #ETP #SEK 👇 prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
