The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) in Kenya is set to acquire an advanced blockchain analytics platform to bolster its oversight of the virtual assets market following the recent enactment of cryptocurrency regulations.

• The platform will enhance the CMA's ability to monitor digital asset transactions, investigate suspicious activities, and enforce compliance.
• This new system will allow for real-time and retrospective monitoring of transactions across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and at least 20 other blockchain networks.
• Key features include automated alerts for illicit activities, advanced investigative tools like wallet mapping and fund-flow analysis, and improved anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing supervision.
