This is one of the biggest RWA developments this year.
$IOTA has been chosen as the infrastructure for Africa’s new digital trade system.
Not one country, but a full continent-wide rollout.
ADAPT, Africa’s Digital Asset and Trade Platform, is launched by @iota, @AfCFTA, @wef and @InstituteGC.
It’s the first open, decentralized digital trade network built for all 54 nations.
Key impact:
+ Access to a $33T global trade market
+ Up to 1.5B people gradually connected
+ Major reductions in cross-border cost and settlement time
This is already live. Kenya and Rwanda pilots show document validation dropping from 6–7 hours to about 30 minutes, with over half of manual steps removed.
If ADAPT scales across the continent, it could unlock billions in trade value and put real on-chain value and revenue towards IOTA.
A rare case of a blockchain being adopted at a government and continental level.
