[Tether partners with Shiga to expand self-custodial finance in Africa, GCC]

Tether said it will work with digital asset infrastructure firm Shiga to build self-custodial financial products in Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council region. The two companies plan to develop products for retail, corporate, and institutional users based on Tether’s open-source Wallet Development Kit, or WDK.

ENTA, aimed at retail users, high-net-worth individuals, and businesses, is designed to let users fund self-custody wallets with local currencies, U.S. dollars, and Bitcoin, then hold and transfer USD₮, Bitcoin, and Tether Gold (XAU₮).

Shiga is also undergoing final approval procedures for a Nigerian digital asset broker license, which would allow it to provide digital asset trading, brokerage, and custody services to retail and institutional clients if approved.
