We must preserve HTML structure, keep proper nouns (NSE, Tether, USDT, Kenya, etc.) in original form, use appropriate Italian terminology for crypto/tech terms (e.g., "stablecoin" remains stablecoin, "blockchain" remains blockchain, "tokenization" becomes tokenizzazione, "settlement" becomes regolamento or liquidazione?

Original title: "NSE, Tether Partner to Test USDT Settlement on Kenya's $26.4B Stock Market"
Italian: "NSE e Tether collaborano per testare il regolamento in USDT sul mercato azionario keniota da 26,4 miliardi di dollari" (or "sul mercato azionario del Kenya da 26,4 miliardi di dollari"). Keep "NSE" and "Tether" as is. "Partner" -> "collaborano" or "stringono una partnership". "Test USDT Settlement" -> "testare il regolamento in USDT". "Kenya's $26.4B Stock Market" -> "mercato azionario keniota da 26,4 miliardi di dollari" (or "del Kenya"). Use "B" as "miliardi". I'll use "NSE e Tether collaborano per testare il regolamento in USDT sul mercato azionario del Kenya da 26,4 miliardi di dollari".
Content: First paragraph: "The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) and Tether have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore digital asset adoption, blockchain infrastructure, and investor education in Kenya. The partnership aims to test USDT settlement across the NSE's $26.4 billion market, marking one of the first direct links between a major stablecoin issuer and a traditional African exchange."
Italian: "La Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) e Tether hanno firmato un memorandum d'intesa per esplorare l'adozione di asset digitali, l'infrastruttura blockchain e l'educazione degli investitori in Kenya. La partnership mira a testare il regolamento in USDT sul mercato da 26,4 miliardi di dollari della NSE, segnando uno dei primi collegamenti diretti tra un importante emittente di stablecoin e una borsa valori tradizionale africana."
Note: "Nairobi Securities Exchange" is a proper noun, keep as is. "memorandum of understanding" -> "memorandum d'intesa". "digital asset adoption" -> "adozione di asset digitali". "blockchain infrastructure" -> "infrastruttura blockchain". "investor education" -> "educazione degli investitori". "USDT settlement" -> "regolamento in USDT". "major stablecoin issuer" -> "importante emittente di stablecoin". "traditional African exchange" -> "borsa valori tradizionale africana".
Second paragraph: "What the MoU covers
The agreement goes beyond just settlement. The two sides will work on asset tokenization and blockchain-based settlement systems. That means real-world assets listed on the NSE could eventually trade as digital tokens, with Tether's USDT used as the settlement currency. The exchange also plans to launch investor education programs around digital assets — a move that signals the NSE sees crypto as a long-term part of Kenya's financial landscape.
" Italian: "Cosa copre il MoU
L'accordo va oltre il semplice regolamento. Le due parti lavoreranno sulla tokenizzazione di asset e sui sistemi di regolamento basati su blockchain. Ciò significa che gli asset del mondo reale quotati sulla NSE potrebbero eventualmente essere scambiati come token digitali, con USDT di Tether utilizzato come valuta di regolamento. La borsa prevede inoltre di lanciare programmi di educazione per gli investitori sugli asset digitali — una mossa che segnala come la NSE veda il crypto come parte a lungo termine del panorama finanziario del Kenya.
" Note: "asset tokenization" -> "tokenizzazione di asset". "blockchain-based settlement systems" -> "sistemi di regolamento basati su blockchain". "real-world assets" -> "asset del mondo reale". "trade as digital tokens" -> "scambiati come token digitali". "settlement currency" -> "valuta di regolamento". "investor education programs" -> "programmi di educazione per gli investitori". "crypto" -> "crypto" (or "criptovalute"? But in Italian crypto is commonly used as "crypto" or "cripto". I'll use "crypto" as it's a tech term, but could also say "le criptovalute". The original says "crypto" as a noun, so "il crypto" might be awkward. Better: "veda le criptovalute come parte..." or "veda il settore crypto come parte...". I'll use "veda il crypto come parte" but it's a bit anglicism. Alternatively: "veda le criptovalute come parte". I'll go with "veda le criptovalute come parte" to be more natural. But the instruction says use appropriate Italian terminology. "Crypto" is often used as is in Italian media. I'll keep "crypto" as a noun, but in Italian it's masculine: "il crypto". However, "crypto" is often used as an abbreviation for "criptovalute" (plural). To be safe, I'll say "il settore crypto" or "le criptovalute". The original says "crypto" as a general term. I'll translate: "veda il crypto come parte" but it might be better: "veda le criptovalute come parte". I'll use "veda le criptovalute come parte" for clarity. Third paragraph: "Why the NSE is moving now
Kenya has one of the most active crypto markets in Africa, but regulation has been patchy. The Capital Markets Authority has been studying digital assets for years, and the central bank has warned against unregulated crypto. By partnering with Tether — the world's largest stablecoin issuer — the NSE is effectively trying to bring digital asset activity under its own regulated umbrella. The timing also lines up with a broader push by African exchanges to modernize: the Johannesburg Stock Exchange has been testing blockchain settlement, and Nigeria's SEC recently approved a crypto framework.

Il Kenya ha uno dei mercati crypto più attivi in Africa, ma la regolament
