Kenya Tightens Grip on Crypto With Finance Bill 2026, Demands Detailed User-level Reporting - Tekedia

Kenya’s Finance Bill 2026 would require virtual asset service providers to file annual reports with the tax authority.

The reports would include user identities and transaction records, sharply reducing anonymity for crypto users.

Platforms that submit false or incomplete filings could face fines and possible prison terms.

The bill also opens the door to future international data-sharing agreements for digital asset oversight.
