Tokenized African stocks: what exists

Which shares of African companies exist as tokens on a blockchain, which platforms say they are coming, and what has only been announced. Every row names its source and the date we checked it.

Information only

Djeli sells none of these tokens, earns nothing from them and has no referral links on this page. Nothing here is advice.

Most of the live tokens below are not offered to US persons, and Kraken and Bitget, which sell or list them, exclude Canada. The rules depend on the issuer, the platform and where you live, so read the platform’s own terms.

What we did not find

As of 30 Sep 2026 we found no token backed by shares bought on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX), the BRVM or the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). Airtel Africa is listed in Lagos, but its token follows the London line.

We checked the issuers and platforms named on this page. The search was not exhaustive.

Live

Tokens on a public blockchain today. We read each one’s supply on-chain when we checked it, which says nothing about whether you may buy it where you live.

Issuer

Tokenized JSE ETFs on Mesh

Live

Tokens linked to South African exchange-traded funds, among them the Satrix 40, which tracks the FTSE/JSE Top 40 index. These are funds, not single shares, and every holder must be approved by the issuer, so the tokens cannot be sent to just any wallet.

Tokens
Underlying
Units of JSE-listed ETFs, including the Satrix 40 (STX40).
Issuer
Efficient Group, on the Mesh platform (Mesh Trade South Africa (Pty) Ltd, licensed financial services provider 53710), South Africa.

Who may buy
Only accounts the issuer approves. Mesh’s site does not say which countries it accepts.

The Satrix 40 token has existed on Stellar since October 2021. When checked it still had approved holders, and the issuer’s account was active that day.

How this page is kept

Every row is re-checked against its sources at the start of each month, and the date on a row is its last check. Where a source and this page disagree, the source is right.

Where a company is also listed in Africa, its row links to the company’s page on Djeli, with prices from that exchange.
