Centralized control isnโt innovation. itโs regression wrapped in digital gloss. Financial systems should empower, not monitor. Trust is built through decentralization, not surveillance.
There you have it, from the mouth of the president of the European Central Bank. To reassure people about the digital euro, she cites China as a "success story" and says explicitly that EU is following China's lead on Centralized Digital Currency. Here's why this matters that.

Kenya pauses the VASP Bill after public outcry over weak AML rules & conflict of interest concerns. No to vague vetting. No to insider control. Crypto needs clear, fair, & independent regulation not rushed frameworks. Public voice matters. ๐ช๐ฝ #KenyaCrypto #VASPBILL

itโs kind of wild to see Safaricomโs grip loosening a bit with Airtel making such a strong move. This subscriber battle feels like a nail-biting game where Airtel just pulled off an unexpected win.
Safaricomโs market share dropped for the second consecutive quarter to 63.3% in March 2025, down from 65.3% in September 2024. Meanwhile, Airtel added 3 million new subscribers in the first three months of 2025, pushing its market share up to 32.2%.

Funding tells one story,. but innovation tells another. Africaโs blockchain future wonโt . be defined by size of capital . alone but by the resilience and creativity of its builders.
Seychelles leads Africa in blockchain funding with $38.35M in 2024 (31%), followed by South Africa, Nigeria & Kenya. Nigeria tops in deal volume (33%) despite low funding. Africa accounts for just 1% of global blockchain capital room to grow.
