SECZ approved seven fintech solutions including blockchain and tokenization platforms for its supervised sandbox, testing digital asset services under predefined parameters.
Zimbabwe's securities regulator approved seven fintech platforms to test their products in a supervised sandbox, the agency said. The group includes blockchain services, tokenization, synthetic trading, and crowdfunding.
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Zimbabwe (SECZ) announced the approvals in a public notice from acting CEO Tichaona Mushambadope. Participants operate under predefined parameters and testing timeframes before they can bring products to the broader market.
Among the approved firms are Zimbabwe Entrepreneurship Exchange, a blockchain-driven capital-raising platform, and Ndarama Standard, an asset tokenization platform. Questview Brokers, a synthetic trading platform, and Crowdaxe Capital, a web-based crowdfunding platform, also received approval. Procode Platforms and Financial Securities Exchange focus on securities tokenization, while Colmin Resources Zimbabwe handles infrastructure tokenization.
SECZ said the program's goal is to encourage responsible innovation and boost financial inclusion. The regulator warned that any claims made outside the sandbox's approved terms will be treated as misleading. The commission will monitor each participant through its testing period and can issue further directives or guidance as needed.
