LAGOS, July 1 – Paga is expanding its wealth management offerings through a new partnership with blockchain infrastructure company TBook, giving individuals and businesses access to tokenised investment products across its financial services platform.
The partnership combines Paga’s payments and compliance infrastructure with TBook’s marketplace for tokenised real world assets built on the Sui blockchain. Through the arrangement, users will be able to access investment products ranging from fixed income instruments to tokenised private assets.
The move also strengthens Paga Engine, the company’s infrastructure business, which processed about $12 billion in transactions in 2025. In addition to payment services, businesses using the platform will now be able to offer tokenised investment products directly through their own applications.
“My desire is to see Africans participate fully in global commerce and grow their wealth,” Group Chief Executive Officer Tayo Oviosu said, adding that the partnership is designed to give more people access to investment opportunities that have traditionally been available only to larger investors.
Paga has been steadily expanding its blockchain strategy in recent months. At the Sui Live event in Miami in May, the company announced plans to introduce more crypto enabled and yield generating products for African consumers. It has also partnered with Sui to enable customers earn returns on USDsui, a US dollar backed stablecoin.
This is not Paga’s first move into investment products. In 2020, it partnered with Wealth.ng to give users access to investments in agriculture, real estate and fixed income. However, the latest partnership focuses on blockchain based finance, allowing investors to own fractions of traditional assets through digital tokens.
According to industry trackers and analysts, tokenised real world assets now have a market capitalisation of about $10 billion, up from $957.3 million at the beginning of 2024. They also estimates the total value of tokenised assets on blockchain networks at $31.59 billion, and projects that the wider asset tokenisation market could grow from $2.08 trillion in 2025 to $18.74 trillion by 2031.
Paga said the investment products will only be distributed through regulated entities in the countries where it operates, including Nigeria, as the company continues to expand its blockchain based payments, savings and investment services.
