Crypto on The Rise in Kenya

Despite having no prior cryptocurrency regulations in place, Kenya has a burgeoning cryptocurrency and digital assets market. In 2023, the nation implemented a 1.5% digital assets tax (DAT) for crypto traders as part of the revamped Finance Act.

In 2024 it had the fourth highest crypto adoption rate in Africa with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Morocco ahead, and 28th in the world, according to data from Business Insider.

As Coinspeaker reported in January 2025, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) urged Kenya to align its crypto regulations with global standards to address increasing risks tied to money laundering, terrorism financing, and consumer protection.

It appears as though Kenyan lawmakers heeded the IMF’s warning and, as of Oct. 13, stand on the precipice of enacting the nation’s first cryptocurrency laws.
