Kenya's Central Bank hires 4 to oversee new crypto service provider regulations.

The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is recruiting four specialists to form its first team dedicated to supervising virtual asset service providers (VASPs). This move follows the 2025 VASP Act, which established Kenya's first legal framework for crypto regulation. The hires will manage licensing, compliance, and risk oversight to stabilize and professionalize Kenya's growing crypto market. The CBK is preparing for full implementation of crypto rules, even as detailed regulations are still pending final approval and gazettement.
