Investas Technology & DAMREV South Africa launch ISO 20022-compliant tokenization services, boosting financial inclusion & supporting Zimbabwe's digital goals.

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, September 13, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- DAMREV, a global leader in Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, and Investas Technology, a leading Zimbabwean FinTech group, are excited to announce a groundbreaking partnership to bring tokenization services to Zimbabwe. This collaboration will leverage DAMREV’s expertise in tokenization to democratize access to high-value, real-world assets such as real estate, gold, diamonds, and agricultural commodities. By providing Zimbabweans with access to digital investment opportunities traditionally reserved for institutional investors, this initiative aims to empower both businesses and individuals, fostering financial inclusion and economic growth.

Empowering Through Tokenization:

At the core of this collaboration is the shared vision of unlocking the value of Zimbabwe’s rich natural resources and assets through tokenization. The partnership will introduce advanced blockchain technology, which allows for the digital representation of physical assets on a secure, immutable platform. Tokenization enables fractional ownership, increases liquidity, and offers a higher level of transparency, opening up investment opportunities to a broader audience.

DAMREV Zimbabwe’s tokenization services will be fully aligned with ISO 20022 standards, ensuring global interoperability, security, and regulatory compliance. This makes the platform suitable for both domestic and international investors seeking to engage in secure digital financial transactions.

Duane Herholdt, CEO of DAMREV South Africa, said: “We are thrilled to expand our services into Zimbabwe. This partnership with Investas Technology will unlock new opportunities for businesses and individuals by giving them access to tokenized digital assets. Our focus is on democratizing access, driving economic growth, and ensuring compliance with ISO 20022 standards.”

• Economic Impact: Tokenization will stimulate economic growth by enhancing access to investment opportunities, attracting foreign capital, and fostering innovation in Zimbabwe’s financial sector.

Bringing the Power of Tokenized Assets to Zimbabwe:

DAMREV Zimbabwe will focus on tokenizing a variety of key assets:
• Real Estate: Offering fractional ownership of property, tokenized real estate will allow Zimbabweans to invest in the property market and unlock new revenue streams.
• Precious Metals and Commodities: The tokenization of gold, platinum, and agricultural assets will provide individuals and businesses with new investment opportunities and greater liquidity.
• Diamonds: Tokenizing Zimbabwe’s rich diamond reserves will enable a secure, transparent, and accessible way to invest in this high-value asset.

Supporting Financial Inclusion and Economic Growth:

Financial inclusion is a key priority of this partnership. Through tokenization, DAMREV Zimbabwe will democratize investment opportunities by offering fractional ownership of traditionally inaccessible assets, allowing a broader range of investors to participate in wealth creation.

Mr. Oliver Chivore, CEO of Investas Technology, stated, “This partnership is a major step forward for Zimbabwe’s financial ecosystem. By introducing tokenization, we’re tapping into the immense potential of our natural resources and providing more people with access to modern financial tools that foster economic growth.”

Technology, Security, and Transparency:

Blockchain technology will ensure the security, transparency, and efficiency of the tokenization process. DAMREV Zimbabwe will utilize blockchain’s immutable ledger to provide a fully traceable and secure record of all transactions, giving investors confidence in the integrity of their investments.

The ability to tokenize assets using blockchain will also enhance liquidity, allowing investors to trade fractions of assets and thereby increase capital flow within the financial markets.

As the country seeks to modernize its financial systems, blockchain technology is expected to play a crucial role.
