Africa's trade systems are getting a major digital upgrade, and $IOTA is playing a key role. The impact is substantial:

- *$70 billion* in new trade value expected

- *$23.6 billion* in annual economic gains

- *60%* reduction in paperwork

- *30 minutes* border clearance time (down from 6 hours)

- *$400* monthly savings per exporter

IOTA's role is critical: providing trust through verified documents, secure identities, and tamper-proof records. This reduces fraud and ensures seamless trade.

The ADAPT system connects 55 countries, serving 1.5 billion people. By 2026, Kenya expects 100,000 daily IOTA ledger entries. $IOTA is becoming a foundational trust layer for the real economy.
