For a long time, Kenyan traders have been limited when it came to global markets,everyone knew the names—Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, the S&P 500 ETFs,but accessing them from Kenya wasn’t easy.
Local traders were boxed into forex, or crypto, while stocks in the US felt out of reach, requiring brokers with high deposits, high broker fees and complicated paperwork.
Kenya has one of the fastest-growing crypto adoption rates in Africa.
From young traders in Nairobi area to university students in Eldoret and Mombasa, crypto has become a new financial language.
Now, through Real-World Assets (RWA) on Bitget, Kenyans can directly trade tokenized versions of US stocks and ETFs on the same platform they already use for crypto.
No need for offshore brokers.
For the first time, traders don’t need two platforms Both crypto and stocks live in one app.
With Bitget futures trading, users can amplify their capital and open positions up to 10x the funds they hold giving Kenyan traders a sharper edge in fast-moving markets.
Among the stocks and ETFs now accessible via RWA on Bitget include:Tesla,Apple,Microsoft , Nvidia ,Amazon,Alphabet / Google,Meta Platforms,Netflix ,Intel,Advanced Micro Devices ,
,JPMorgan Chase ,Bank of America ,Johnson & Johnson ,Coca-Cola ,Procter & Gamble ,ExxonMobil,Berkshire Hathaway and many more.
Bitget thrives on innovation that stems from the emerging cryptospace,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “With the world’s first RWA Index Perpetual Contract, we are slowly transitioning into a comprehensive ecosystem of all things finance. This product shows the platform’s advancement as compared to other players, as it enables traders with exposure to a modern and traditional range of asset classes, bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.”
This list has over 100 stocks and is growing, meaning you will soon be able to trade even more US companies and global ETFs from the same platform they use for crypto.
Forex has been a big entry point for Kenyan traders. But the global game is bigger. Now the same candlestick skills can be applied to Apple’s stock, or the S&P 500 index, opening up new opportunities.
Some early movers are already combining crypto volatility with the stability of stock ETFs—creating portfolios that balance risk and reward.
Every market shift in Kenya has rewarded early adopters. The same way M-Pesa created mobile money pioneers, and crypto rewarded early believers, RWA trading could be the next frontier.
