Rapper Akon is Building the First Ever Black-Owned Futuristic City With Its Own Cryptocurrency Called Akoin
Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum selling artist and philanthropist Akon is building a first of its kind 100% crypto-based city in Senegal, West Africa, and the only form of trade that will be used is his own digital cash currency called AKoin.
The futuristic city will be built on a 2,000-acre land gifted to him by Senegal's President Macky Sall, located just 5-minutes away from the country's new international airport. For years, Black leaders have talked about creating their own communities and economies... and now finally, Akon is stepping up to the plate.
In addition to launching his own cryptocurrency, Akon wants to build a "100% crypto-based city with Akoin at the center of transactional life." The proposed city will be located outside of Dakar, Senegal.
