肯尼亚瞄准加密货币监管

为了对加密行业采取更具包容性的方法，肯尼亚政府通过其国家财政部和经济规划部呼吁就其拟议的监管结构进行公众咨询。

Kenya is taking steps to establish a legal framework for cryptocurrency operations, following a recommendation by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to overhaul its existing crypto policy.

根据国际货币基金组织（IMF）建议彻底改革其现有的加密货币政策，肯尼亚正在采取措施建立加密货币运营的法律框架。

The Kenyan government, through its National Treasury and Economic Planning Department, has called for public consultation on its proposed regulatory structure.

肯尼亚政府通过其国家财政部和经济规划部呼吁就其拟议的监管结构进行公众咨询。

Two documents will form the basis of the consultations: "The Draft National Policy On Virtual Assets (VAs) and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)" and "The Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill, 2025."

两份文件将构成磋商的基础：《虚拟资产 (VA) 和虚拟资产服务提供商 (VASP) 国家政策草案》和《2025 年虚拟资产服务提供商法案》。

The first document aims to guide the governance of VAs and VASPs, while the second will designate regulatory authorities and licensing requirements for VASPs.

第一份文件旨在指导 VA 和 VASP 的治理，而第二份文件将指定 VASP 的监管机构和许可要求。

Public consultations on both documents will run till January 24, inviting input from Kenyans and stakeholders on the proposed crypto framework.

关于这两份文件的公众咨询将持续到 1 月 24 日，邀请肯尼亚人和利益相关者就拟议的加密框架提出意见。

Kenya's central bank banned cryptocurrencies as legal tender in 2015, but crypto ownership remains high, with an estimated 2.8 million Kenyans.

The government's move to legalize virtual assets marks a significant shift from its previous anti-crypto stance.

According to local media The Saturday Standard, Cabinet Secretary for Treasury & Economic Planning John Mbadi highlighted the changing policy landscape.

据当地媒体《周六标准报》报道，财政部和经济规划内阁秘书约翰·姆巴迪强调了不断变化的政策格局。

"The emergence and growth of Virtual Assets (VAs) and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) have given rise to innovations in the local and international financial system with dynamic opportunities and challenges," Mbadi said.

姆巴迪表示：“虚拟资产（VA）和虚拟资产服务提供商（VASP）的出现和增长引发了本地和国际金融体系的创新，带来了动态的机遇和挑战。”

The Cabinet Secretary acknowledged the risks associated with the crypto industry, such as fraud and money laundering, but expressed confidence that these can be mitigated through effective regulation.

内阁秘书承认与加密货币行业相关的风险，例如欺诈和洗钱，但表示相信这些风险可以通过有效监管来减轻。

Kenya's U-turn on crypto comes after the IMF's technical assistance report, which advised Kenya to strengthen its crypto regulation by adopting a clear legislative framework and ensuring consumer protection through financial literacy, among other recommendations.

肯尼亚在加密货币方面态度大转变是在国际货币基金组织发布技术援助报告之后发生的，该报告建议肯尼亚通过采用明确的立法框架并通过金融知识确保消费者保护等建议来加强其加密货币监管。
