Kenya’s move is pretty ruthless—going straight to on-chain tracking. By 2026, anyone without a license will have to run?

CoinJie.com news: The Capital Markets Authority of Kenya (CMA) is conducting a tender procurement for a blockchain analytics platform to support crypto-asset regulation following the implementation of the “2025 Virtual Asset Service Providers Act.” According to the tender documents, the platform will support real-time and historical transaction monitoring for at least 20 blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, to identify activities suspected of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion, and it will also provide features such as cross-chain fund tracking, transaction relationship analysis, and high-risk wallet identification. Currently, Kenya has not yet issued virtual asset service provider licenses, and existing operators must complete compliance by November 2026.
