BitEduhub Expands Bitcoin’s Real-World Footprint

BitEduhub, a Bitcoin education platform, announced that another local business has joined its Bitcoin payments network. While the merchant’s name wasn’t revealed, the move marks a step toward a more practical, circular Bitcoin economy — where people don’t just trade but actually spend and earn in crypto.

The onboarding reflects growing confidence among small businesses that see Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as a usable currency. Across the industry, merchant sign-ups for crypto payments have been rising, supported by lower fees and faster transactions.

Kenya’s CMA Opens the Floor for Capital Market Reforms

Kenya’s Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has invited public input on potential amendments to the country’s Capital Markets Act — a move aimed at aligning laws with today’s fintech and digital asset realities. The regulator wants insights from investors, legal experts, and the public on how to modernize rules for securities, digital trading, and investor protection.

The current framework, written over a decade ago, lags behind rapid innovations like blockchain-based securities and automated markets. By refreshing the law, the CMA hopes to make Kenya’s market more competitive, transparent, and attractive to global investors.
