The Blockchain Association of Kenya (BAK), the country's primary digital asset industry lobby group, has extended the feedback period for its community-led draft Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) bill.
The VASP Bill is the result of a mandate given to the association in November 2023 by the National Assembly's Finance and National Planning Committee. The BAK was tasked with drafting a framework to govern the cryptocurrency industry due to the absence of a framework, which has led to an increase in dubious cryptocurrency scams defrauding Kenyans of millions.
