Kenya introduces a legal framework for virtual assets, reshaping its digital financial ecosystem
On 15th October 2025, Kenya enacted the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2025 (the “Act”), establishing a legal framework for the regulation of virtual assets and service providers.
The Act introduces licensing, governance and consumer protection requirements, and integrates virtual asset service providers into Kenya’s financial regulatory architecture. It marks a milestone in Kenya’s digital finance journey, aiming to align the country with global standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, while supporting innovation in blockchain and fintech.
This month’s Legal Bulletin explores the scope, regulatory oversight, compliance obligations and market implications of the new law.
