In the third week of January 2026, the African fintech narrative has officially shifted from “expansion” to “sovereignty.” Recent data from the African Fintech Summit confirms that we are no longer merely adopting global solutions; we are exporting them.

New Castle, Delaware, USA (PinionNewswire) — Resolv announced today that it has closed a $500,000 pre-seed funding round to accelerate development of its crypto asset recovery infrastructure. The round was led by Funfair Ventures and includes participation from the University of Illinois, University of Chicago, OCA Ventures, Orange DAO, Quantstamp, Kyber Network and WBTC.

In this environment, comparisons like Bitcoin Hyper vs Remittix are no longer theoretical debates. They are about which project is actually delivering value while market conditions remain uncertain.

Simultaneously, Bitcoin Hyper remains popular with its technology, but finds it difficult to…
The Solana price forecast conversation has resurfaced as the crypto market seeks direction following a volatile period. Solana has remained one of the essential networks for decentralized applications, NFTs, and overall fast-tracked blockchain adoption, though there has been a chill in altcoin markets. On the other hand, more focus has been placed on infrastructural projects. At the same time, investors are increasingly paying attention to infrastructure projects with real-world use cases. One of those quietly gaining relevance is Remittix (RTX), a PayFi-focused cryptocurrency that builds tools to work through both bull and bear phases. Solana Price Prediction as SOL Tests…
The rise to $2.21 was a sigh of relief for Polkadot (DOT) holders after months of a downtrend. But it turned out to be a brief sunshine before the return of dark clouds. Whales quickly grabbed profits and went for the exits, putting pressure on the DOT price. On-chain data shows that whales are joining crypto presales in early 2026. And their top destination is Digitap ($TAP). 2026 could be a transformative year for the market. And one reason is the rise of utility-focused projects like Digitap. As the world’s first true omnibank, Digitap has everything it takes to drive…

Crypto Dispensers, operating under Virtual Assets, Inc., today detailed the evolution of its cash-to-Bitcoin platform, its long-standing compliance posture, and the institutional controls supporting its operations across the United States.
