Completing Africa: Connectivity Without Compromise

One of the most important milestones we’re working toward this year is completing full platform connectivity across the African continent. Not partially. Not selectively. But properly — in a way that respects local markets, regulatory frameworks, and the realities institutions operate within every day.


By the end of Q2, our objective is clear: to have Africa fully covered across all investment environments we provide.


That starts with what already exists today — access to listed investments globally and across Africa. Any asset with an identifier, listed on an exchange anywhere in the world, is already within scope. That foundation matters, but it’s only part of the picture.


What completes the continent is the addition of environments that reflect how African markets actually function in practice.

The introduction of our OTC (over-the-counter) environment enables institutions to work with unlisted instruments, bespoke structures, and non-standard assets — supported by secondary market functionality where appropriate. This is critical in markets where liquidity, issuance, and capital formation don’t always sit neatly inside traditional exchange models.


Alongside this is our private placement and capital raise environment, designed to support capital formation at scale. This is about giving African institutions, businesses, and initiatives the infrastructure they need to raise capital in a structured, transparent, and compliant way — while also providing investors with clarity, governance, and confidence.


When these environments operate together — listed, OTC, and private placement — true cross-border connectivity becomes possible. Institutions are no longer constrained by fragmented systems, isolated markets, or incompatible processes. Instead, they can operate through a single infrastructure layer that supports local, regional, and global activity.


Crucially, this isn’t about bypassing regulation or creating shortcuts. Quite the opposite. Connectivity without compromise means working with regulators, exchanges, central banks, and governments — ensuring that access, execution, and capital movement take place within clear, well-governed frameworks.

Africa doesn’t need more disconnected platforms. It needs infrastructure that respects sovereignty, supports growth, and enables participation without introducing unnecessary risk.


Completing Africa, in this sense, isn’t a geographic achievement. It’s an architectural one. It’s about building systems that allow African markets to function more efficiently internally, while also engaging confidently with the rest of the world.


This milestone matters because it lays the groundwork for what comes next — not just enabling African investors to access global opportunities, but positioning Africa itself as a destination for capital, ideas, and long-term investment.


That’s the intent. And that’s the responsibility that comes with building at a continental scale.
