WeWire admitted to SEC virtual assets sandbox to drive trade finance tokenisation

The SEC selection builds directly on WeWire’s prior participation in the Bank of Ghana (BOG) Regulatory Sandbox, where the company worked closely with monetary regulators to develop compliant blockchain-based payment solutions and stablecoin liquidity rails, as the only cross-border payment company in that cohort." Under the SEC sandbox supervision, WeWire will build blockchain-based asset tokenisation that can streamline trade finance workflows, optimise working capital for importers and exporters, and enable seamless settlement between traditional financial networks and digital asset rails.

As cross-border trade across Africa and emerging markets faces persistent capital inefficiencies, settlement delays, and liquidity bottlenecks, tokenising real-world trade finance assets creates a programmable, transparent, and immediate avenue for capital clearing and trade settlement.
