Access to Wall Street in Nairobi: How Kenyans Are Now Trading US Stocks and ETFs
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.
That’s changing.
The Bridge Between Crypto and Wall Street
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. No need for a US bank account. Just deposit USDT or KES (through P2P), Mpesa direct deposits and start trading.

From Forex Charts to Nasdaq Screens
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.
Don’t Miss Out
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.
