According to a report by Bitcoin News, Tanzania’s central bank governor Emmanuel Tutuba said the central bank is completing a legal and regulatory framework for virtual assets, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins to strengthen industry oversight and protect investors. Tutuba said local young investors are becoming more actively involved, and the central bank has received multiple complaints about losses from crypto transactions. The new rules will also focus on addressing money laundering, terrorist financing, and financial stability risks.

Tanzania has been following up pretty quickly. African countries are pushing compliance frameworks even more actively than some established financial countries.
