Policy Momentum: Finance Bill 2025 & VASP Regulation
KBCC 2025 comes at a pivotal moment for the Kenyan blockchain space. The recently tabled Finance Bill 2025 proposes a reduction in the Digital Asset Tax (DAT) from 3% to 1.5%, signaling responsiveness to industry concerns and ongoing public-private dialogue.
Additionally, the long-anticipated Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill has been formally tabled in Parliament, aiming to establish a regulatory framework for digital asset businesses in Kenya. The bill outlines requirements for licensing, compliance, consumer protection, and anti-money laundering, positioning Kenya to become a regulated hub for blockchain innovation.
KBCC 2025 will provide a timely forum for unpacking these developments and aligning ecosystem stakeholders—including regulators, developers, and financial institutions—on how to foster innovation while ensuring compliance and sustainability.
