Nairobi, Kenya — Kenya is set to host one of the continent’s most influential gatherings in the blockchain and digital asset space as the Kenya Blockchain and Crypto Conference (KBCC) 2025 returns for its third edition.

Powered by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, KBCC 2025 is expected to attract over 1,500 participants from across Africa. Attendees will include developers, regulators, banks, fintechs, startups, global protocols, and policy shapers, all convening under the theme:
“Driving Blockchain Innovation and Mass Adoption.”

Policy Shifts Take Center Stage
KBCC 2025 comes at a pivotal moment for Kenya’s blockchain landscape. The Finance Bill 2025 proposes a reduction in the Digital Asset Tax (DAT) from 3% to 1.5%, reflecting a positive response to industry feedback and strengthening public-private collaboration.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill has been tabled in Parliament. It aims to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital asset businesses, covering licensing, compliance, consumer protection, and anti-money laundering protocols—positioning Kenya as a regulated hub for blockchain innovation in Africa.
The conference will serve as a timely platform for unpacking these developments and fostering alignment among ecosystem players, from developers and financial institutions to lawmakers and entrepreneurs.
Shaping Africa’s Blockchain Future
“At KBCC 2025, our focus is on education for mass adoption. We’re inviting businesses, innovators, and everyday citizens to engage with blockchain technology and explore its practical value,” said Sheila Waswa, CEO of Chasing Mavericks and Events Lead for KBCC 2025.
“We’re proud to support platforms like KBCC that foster local innovation and open access to blockchain knowledge,” said Larry Cooke, spokesperson for Binance. “Africa’s builder ecosystem is among the most promising globally, and we’re committed to helping creators unlock its full potential.”
Moyo Sodipo, COO and Co-Founder of Busha, added: “The future of crypto in Africa is about real access, real utility, and progressive regulation. Kenya’s leadership is setting a regional benchmark, and Busha is here to build the infrastructure that makes crypto safe, useful, and inclusive—while working hand-in-hand with key stakeholders.”
