🚹 IMF presses Kenya to require crypto platforms to share customer data under FATF’s Travel Rule.

📌 A technical assistance report dated November 6 identified a “significant gap” in Kenya’s implementation of the Travel Rule, which requires the collection and transmission of sender and recipient information, including names, account numbers, physical addresses, and wallet information.
📌 The IMF wants Kenya to incorporate this obligation into VASP regulations without delay. The data collected will be used to report suspicious transactions to the Financial Reporting Centre.

Growing compliance pressure could drive funds away from opaque domestic exchanges, while defensive sentiment spreads among low-liquidity altcoins.

💬 Kenya is tightening its Travel Rule requirements — do you see this as a step toward greater transparency or a barrier to crypto in Africa?
