Kenya VASP Act 2025: A new era for virtual asset regulation
The enactment of the Virtual Assets Service Providers Act, 2025 (VASPA), which came into force on 4 November 2025, marks a fresh start for both virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and investors. For years, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) maintained a cautious approach, issuing public notices in 2015 and 2020, warning against the use of virtual currencies due to their unregulated nature, lack of government backing, and high risk of fraud. Similarly, the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) raised concerns in 2018, cautioning about initial coin offerings, reflecting a firm institutional stance against virtualassets.
