June 10, (THEWILL) — Benjamin Onomor, the Chief Executive Officer of Roqqu, has described tokenisation as the next frontier of global finance, highlighting its potential to expand access to investment opportunities and transform the way financial markets operate.
Onomor made the assertion following Roqqu’s strategic partnership with Ondo Finance, a leading player in the tokenised real-world assets (RWA) ecosystem. The collaboration is to accelerate the adoption of blockchain-powered financial products across Africa and other emerging markets.
According to him, the global financial system holds hundreds of trillions of dollars in assets, yet only a fraction has been tokenised, leaving significant room for growth and innovation. He noted that access to premium financial products has traditionally been limited by factors such as geography, infrastructure constraints and regulatory barriers.
“Before now, access to the world’s best financial products has been limited by geography, infrastructure and regulation. Tokenisation is changing that”, Onomor said.
“We have entered a new era where financial assets can move with the speed of the internet, settle around the clock and become more accessible to investors globally. At Roqqu, we believe the future of finance is tokenised.”
He explained that the partnership with Ondo Finance represents an important step toward bringing the benefits of tokenised finance to underserved markets, particularly across Africa, where access to global investment products remains relatively limited.
The collaboration will leverage Ondo Finance’s expertise in bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain networks alongside Roqqu’s growing footprint in emerging economies. Both companies believe the alliance will help bridge gaps in financial inclusion by providing broader access to institutional-grade investment products.
They added that the partnership is expected to create new opportunities for investors to participate in global capital markets through blockchain-enabled infrastructure, while supporting the wider adoption of tokenised assets as the financial industry continues its digital transformation.
