🗓️ May 25 2026 08:30 UTC - Jane Muia
Kenya has now concluded public consultations on the Draft Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Regulations, 2026. These rules will operationalise the VASP
➤ Kenya is formalizing its digital asset economy with new VASP regulations, aiming to provide legal protection and build trust in a market already valued at $18 billion.
➤ The regulations are expected to enable the use of digital assets, including stablecoins and tokenized bonds, as collateral for loans, transforming speculative assets into productive capital.
➤ While Kenya has a history of financial innovation, successful adoption hinges on balancing regulatory oversight with support for innovators and educating users about risks.
