Invastor Launches Historic Crypto Education Initiative, Starting With Kenya To Lead Africa And The Global South


(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Kenya has been chosen as the launchpad for this Africa-first strategy , leveraging its history as a mobile money leader and its tech-savvy population. The initiative positions Africa to take the lead in digital finance, while giving leaders practical experience to craft laws and regulations that protect citizens and encourage innovation , rather than lagging behind major economies like the United States, Germany, and El Salvador.

Scope of the Initiative

  • 349 Members of Parliament (MPs)
  • 67 Senators
  • 47 County Governors
    Total leaders reached: 463
    Total allocation: $23,150 (~Ksh 3,009,500)

The initiative is educational, not speculative , but by experiencing the technology now, leaders can design policies that unlock real-world opportunities for Kenya and its citizens . InVastor Coin can be used for payments, peer-to-peer transfers, local commerce, and services , laying the groundwork for adoption that could create early advantages for individuals and businesses.

"Kenya has shown the world how to leapfrog legacy systems with mobile money. Now it can do the same with crypto," said Chris Esikumo, CEO of InVastor Inc . "As a Kenyan-born entrepreneur now based in Boston, I believe Africa should write its own financial rules. Kenya is just the beginning - this initiative will expand across Africa and eventually to Latin America and Asia, giving people and businesses the chance to experience the digital economy early and responsibly, while guiding policymakers on safe adoption."

Growth & Momentum

Since its creation, InVastor Coin has grown from a market cap of $1,600 in February 2025 to over $700,000 in August 2025 , reflecting rapid adoption and trust.

Why This Matters

  • Africa-first: Kenya is the proving ground, with the program set to scale across the continent.
  • Global South vision: Latin America and Asia are next, regions with billions at risk of being excluded from the digital finance revolution.
  • Financial inclusion: Crypto provides cheaper, faster, and more secure transactions for citizens and businesses.
  • Policy leadership: Hands-on experience equips leaders to craft informed, protective, and forward-looking legislation that benefits everyone.
