Kenya Advances Tech Sector with VASP Bill and Huawei ICT Competition - August 2025
Kenya is taking steps to formalize its Web3 industry through the impending Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill, 2025. The bill aims to provide regulatory clarity and consumer protection to the country's growing digital asset sector, which is expected to unlock growth for crypto startups. While experts see potential benefits like reduced remittance costs, concerns remain about the impact of overregulation on innovation. Separately, to foster digital literacy and innovation among youth, Huawei launched its 10th ICT competition in Nairobi on August 14. Attended by government officials, the event aims to attract over 10,000 participants from tertiary institutions nationwide.
