Akoin, the cryptocurrency project developed by Senegalese-American singer Akon, has achieved immense success in its initial pilot testing at western Kenya’s Mwale Medical Technology City (MMTC). Eyeing for a national rollout by next month, Akoin is expected to pave the way for $5 million worth of transactions per month. This pilot project will allow inhabitants to pay and get paid by Akoin and convert their transactions into cell phone minutes.
