NGNb is the naira settlement asset for tokenised markets. One NGNb is one naira, fully reserved and redeemable at par, built to settle where assets trade.
NGNb is a token that represents one Nigerian naira. Each NGNb in circulation is backed by naira-denominated reserve assets of equal value. Approved participants mint NGNb by depositing naira and redeem it for naira at par.
Deposit
Naira goes into reserve.
Mint
Equal NGNb is issued.
Redeem
NGNb is burned, naira paid at par.
Dollar stablecoins are useful for dollar exposure. Used for naira obligations, they add a currency conversion and FX risk nobody asked for. NGNb lets naira settle as naira.
Equities
Quoted in naira.
Treasury Bills
Issued and redeemed in naira.
Bonds
Pay coupons in naira.
Funds
Strike NAV in naira.
Businesses
Invoice and keep books in naira.
Pensions
Invested and paid out in naira.
A tokenised asset is only half a transaction. If the payment still travels through bank rails, the trade waits on cut-offs and one side can move before the other. NGNb puts the naira on the same network as the asset, so both legs settle together.
Delivery versus payment
Both move together, or neither does.
Shorter cycles
Settlement follows execution closely.
One record
Less reconciliation after the fact.
Market hours
Not tied to bank windows.
Reusable positions
Pledge, redeem or move at once.
