Kenya Seeks Public Feedback on Draft Rules for Virtual Asset Service Provider Licensing and Stablecoin Support
Svmuu News Kenya's National Treasury has released a draft regulatory framework for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) and initiated a public consultation period, with a deadline of April 10th. The draft provisions propose new reserve requirements for stablecoin issuers and suggest fee structures for token platforms. These draft rules originate from a multi-agency task force established in consultation with the Central Bank of Kenya and the Capital Markets Authority. Previously, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) placed Kenya on its 'grey list' in February 2024, citing deficiencies in the country's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework. One of the necessary measures FATF proposed for Kenya was to establish a legal framework for licensing and regulating Virtual Asset Service Providers. (The Block)
