#satsontheroad is mooning! Join the Africa Bitcoin movement live in Cotonou, Benin 🇧🇯 with @BitcoinBenin @btcmastermind_ @btcflashxyz @HopeWithBTC #Bitcoin #Bitkwa #Africa #Benin

Yesterday’s coffee hangout ☕ was a beautiful reminder of why we do this. We welcomed 3 new members, curious, open, and ready to understand Bitcoin from the ground up. We started with “What is Bitcoin?” guided by our founder @RMurathime Simple. Clear. Layman's language. Then we explored “Why Bitcoin?” with @StaceyBiko a Bitcoin Educator at @btc_dada connecting money, choice, and freedom in a way that felt real. You could feel it in the room: The pauses. The questions. The quiet “aha” moments. And here’s what makes this space different, this community is completely free to join and learn. Built on free will, curiosity, and community contribution. No pressure. No gatekeeping. Just people choosing to learn and grow together. Because understanding Bitcoin isn’t a one-day thing. It’s a journey. And we’re walking it together, one conversation at a time. ⚡ To the 3 who joined us, karibuni sana 🤝 You’re now part of something bigger.

We’re opening mid-April. Space buildout ongoing!

Kenya didn't wait for landlines, it leapt to mobile. Didn't wait for banks, it hopped to M-Pesa. CBK let that tadpole swim. Today it's worth hundreds of billions to the @KeTreasury. Now Bitcoin companies like Tando, Bitika & Minmo are building the next leap ON TOP of M-Pesa. But draft VASP regs demand KES 50-150M capital for startups processing KES 3,500 avg transactions on already-regulated rails. These are rules for whales, not tadpoles. Kenya doesn't need foreign whales, it needs its own tadpoles to survive long enough to become frogs. Don't kill the tadpole before it has a chance to grow. 🐸 Learn from past successes.

Day 5.....yeeeay! A week of games and learning about money. Today it was about inflation. geyser.fund/project/bitbia…

Day 3 NextGen in session 💛⚡ From understanding money to questioning it. How it works. Who controls it. And where we fit in. Through stories, questions. The kids are starting to see things differently. A shift in perspective. geyser.fund/project/bitbia…

Day 2 — NextGen in session 💛⚡ Today we broke it down in their language— the birth of money. New words. New understanding. From story… to activity… to real life. Not just what money is— but what it makes possible. A life of choice. That’s the shift.

Nairobi is at the centre of Africa’s Bitcoin conversation. Ahead of the Adopting Bitcoin Conference this June (24–25), stakeholders gathered in Nairobi to explore what’s next for financial systems across the continent. Watch the full briefing here: youtu.be/eLf9nsZX2eA

VIRTUAL ASSETS Kenya moves closer to regulating virtual assets as public participation on the Draft Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Regulations, 2026 concludes. The Regulations operationalize the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025, providing a clear legal framework for licensing, regulating, and supervising virtual asset businesses in and from Kenya. Virtual assets such as cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, and stablecoins are reshaping global finance. Kenya is positioning itself to harness innovation while safeguarding financial stability, protecting consumers, and managing emerging risks. Public value: The framework establishes a fair, transparent, and competitive market,supporting innovation, strengthening investor confidence, and unlocking new economic opportunities. Strong safeguards introduced include: • Fit & proper ownership requirements • Adequate capital thresholds • Strong governance frameworks • Robust risk management and AML/CFT compliance Consumer protection remains central: • Clear risk disclosures • Transparent pricing structures • Effective complaints handling mechanisms • Strict segregation and protection of customer assets Market integrity measures include: • Fair and orderly trading rules • Due diligence before listing virtual assets • Continuous monitoring of markets • Zero tolerance for manipulation, insider trading, and false trading Enhanced oversight and resilience measures include: • Continuous reporting and disclosures • Onsite and offsite supervision • Strong cybersecurity and incident reporting frameworks • Mandatory audits, insurance, and prudential requirements A whole of government approach anchors implementation, bringing together The National Treasury, Central Bank of Kenya (@CBKKenya), and Capital Markets Authority (@CMAKenya) for coordinated oversight. Kenya is building a trusted framework that balances innovation with financial stability. Next step: review and consolidation of stakeholder submissions ahead of finalization of the Regulations. Stakeholders are encouraged to follow updates as Kenya advances this regulatory framework.
