Belfrics Global’s Bold Move into Africa

Praveen Kumar, the fearless Chairman and CEO of Belfrics Global SDH, has officially declared war on cryptocurrency stagnation by announcing a Bitcoin exchange blitz across Africa. During the launch of their exchange in Kenya, he made it clear that this wasn’t just a casual affair—this was an all-out Bitcoin party, and you’re all invited!

Why Kenya is Ground Zero for Belfrics

Gathered at the plush Villa Rosa Kempinski in Nairobi, Praveen revealed that the overwhelming success of trials in Kenya prompted their decision to expand. With the volume of transactions and general excitement about cryptocurrency, the team viewed Kenya as a test bed for further expansion into other African nations like Nigeria, Ghana, and Botswana.

The Numbers Game: Reaching Hundreds of Thousands

Praveen’s ambitious plans don’t stop at mere launches; he hinted at reaching a staggering 100,000 to one million people over the next 18 months in Kenya alone. If there was a medal for enthusiasm, he’d win gold. “We’ve got a good business so far; this is just a launch party!” he exclaimed to cheers from the attendees, who were clearly ready to pop some virtual champagne.

Corporate Rivalries: Belfrics vs. BitPesa

But hold your horses! Enter BitPesa, Belfrics’ competitor already in the game, offering a snazzy 3% commission on transactions. Not to be outdone, Justus Mutui Kimasyu, Director at Belfrics Kenya, shot back with a competitive 5%. “We allow people to buy any amount they can afford, while BitPesa starts at $700. We’re in the business of making Bitcoin accessible!” he proclaimed, clearly not worried about the competition.

The Bigger Picture: Cryptocurrency Adoption in Kenya

While the Central Bank of Kenya has waged a cautious campaign against cryptocurrency, the citizens of Kenya seem unbothered, pressing forward with their Bitcoin aspirations. With numerous organizations advocating for Bitcoin adoption, it’s evident that Kenyans are more interested in cryptocurrency than a Netflix binge on a Saturday night (and that’s saying something!).

A Bright Future Ahead

With entities like the East African Blockchain Association in support, and advocates like Mengistu Humne cheering for Belfrics’ entry into the market, it’s clear that this is just the beginning for cryptocurrency in Africa. The future looks bright for Bitcoin, and perhaps a touch comical, as we watch this high-stakes game unfold across the continent.
