Shenchao TechFlow News, July 8 – According to Decrypt, Kenya's Capital Markets Authority (CMA) is seeking to procure a blockchain analytics platform to monitor transactions on at least 20 blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, in order to track crypto-related crimes such as fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions evasion.

The platform will generate real-time automatic alerts for high-risk wallets, large transfers, mixers, and sanctioned entities, and map wallet relationships to trace cross-chain fund flows. This move aims to implement the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, which will take effect in November 2025. Currently, over 6 million users in Kenya use digital assets, with on-chain receipts totaling approximately $19 billion between July 2024 and June 2025, ranking fourth in Africa.
