Ethiopia's government has recently sent several new signals. According to reports, the Ethiopian Prime Minister publicly announced that the government is actively seeking investment partners and plans to launch a Bitcoin mining project. This is not a casual statement— in the official development plan "Digital Ethiopia 2030," blockchain is explicitly listed as a strategic pillar industry, alongside cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and quantum computing, positioning it as a "practical tool to enhance the competitiveness of various national industries."

What does this mean? In simple terms, Ethiopia has upgraded blockchain from a novel concept to a national-level development direction. The launch of the Bitcoin mining project appears to be a concrete implementation of this strategy. For the crypto industry, this is another case of a national-level player expressing support, reflecting an increasing recognition across regions of the practical application value of blockchain technology.
