Bitget's new offering enables investors to diversify their portfolios beyond crypto assets into stocks, ETFs, and money market funds, all accessible 24/7 without the constraints of foreign exchange complications or traditional market hours.
Bitget has also cemented its position in the tokenised securities ecosystem by joining the Global Markets Alliance, led by Ondo Finance.
This alliance brings together trusted industry players, including exchanges, custodians, and DeFi platforms that are committed to the standardisation and promotion of tokenised real-world assets (RWAs).
This collaboration will give Kenyan investors access to over 100 tokenised US stocks and ETFs, significantly expanding their investment universe.
“This is the next frontier in finance, allowing everyday investors in Kenya to access Wall Street with ease. Our xStocks and Ondo integration marks a leap forward in giving Kenyans diversified, borderless asset exposure,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, in a press statement seen by TUKO.co.ke.
The advantages for Kenyan investors are obvious: they can trade in Kenyan shillings using crypto-native methods, sidestepping forex fees and brokerage mandates.
The blockchain-based platform ensures lower transaction costs, full transparency, and fractional ownership, allowing investors to enter the market easily and flexibly.
To start investing, Kenyan users simply need to create or log in to their Bitget account, complete KYC verification, and explore tokenised US stocks and ondo-backed ETFs on Bitget Onchain.
This initiative comes at a time when Kenya’s youth are increasingly embracing blockchain technology, backed by significant investment in crypto education and infrastructure.

Bitget trains Kenyans
Recent programmes supported by a KSh 13 billion Bitget initiative have trained thousands of young Kenyans in blockchain and empowered a new generation of investors and tech-savvy entrepreneurs to thrive in the digital economy.
By unlocking global market access through tokenised securities, Bitget is playing a critical role in democratising finance and supporting the burgeoning blockchain ecosystem in Kenya.
This development promises to further integrate the country into the global financial landscape while fostering local innovation and economic inclusion.
