Speaking at the launch of the company’s first African bitcoin exchange at the Villa Rosa Kempinski in Nairobi, Chairman and CEO of Belfrics Global, Praveen Kumar spoke with enthusiasm regarding the response received from the Kenyan cryptocurrency community. “We were overwhelmed with the tests trials that were run in Kenya in terms of volume and have therefore decided to launch Bitcoin exchanges across the continent in the coming months,” Kumar stated.
For Belfrics, the African bitcoin markets possess considerable growth potential, with the company expecting to target approximately 100,000 African investors during its first 12 months of operations. “We believe that digital currency is definitely the future of the financial markets and Kenya becomes an important market for us to start our operations in Africa.
