ROUNDUP OF BLOCKCHAIN NEWS IN KENYA AND EAST AFRICA

Hello there! Welcome to Blockwisely, where you can get the latest news, insights, updates, and trends from the Web3 ecosystem in Kenya and East Africa.

Here’s everything that happened in the Web3 space last week.

Bitcoin finally surpasses 100K USD!! Did we see this coming?

Bitcoin has officially crossed the $100,000 mark, highlighting its rise from an experimental digital currency to a global financial powerhouse. This milestone reflects years of growing trust in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a store of value, driven by institutional investments and adoption by countries like El Salvador. Increased awareness, regulatory clarity, and improved usability have made Bitcoin more accessible, fueling its surge in value. This is not just a win for Bitcoin but a sign of the growing acceptance of decentralized systems in shaping the future of finance.
