Market rate from CoinGecko, sampled every two hours and refreshed every eight. The rate you actually get is the market rate less the published Janehub margin, held for sixty seconds before you confirm.
A typical counter purchase
At this rate one USDC buys about 130.00 KES. The merchant receives KES over M-Pesa; you never hand over crypto, and neither does the merchant.
Illustrative. The rate shown is a market reading, not a quote.
How a market moves from research to launch
Four gates, in order. A market cannot skip one, and a skipped gate is why a page says "research".
Legal review
A written position on the asset, the product and the marketing, reviewed with counsel in that country.
Partner
A licensed payment or settlement provider contracted, with the responsibility split defined in writing.
Integration
The rail connected, merchant payout tested end to end, and reconciliation proven under failure.
Cohort
A limited business cohort opens, with published fees and a support path that answers.
The legal position in every market
Digital assets are not legal tender in any market listed here, and nothing on this site describes them as such. You hold a stablecoin; your counterparty receives ordinary local currency through a licensed provider. Where a jurisdiction restricts the marketing or settlement of crypto assets, Janehub does not offer there — and this page says so.
Janehub is not yet offering products in Kenya. This page is published for planning and research, and is not an offer of service in Kenya.
