[IMF Urges Kenya to Introduce Crypto Travel Rule, Requiring Platforms to Share Customer Information] According to crypto.news, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in a technical assistance report released on November 6, recommended that Kenya require crypto platforms to collect, verify, and transmit the identity information of remitters and recipients in regulated transfers, including names, account information, addresses, ID numbers, and wallet information—essentially introducing a "Travel Rule." The IMF stated that Kenya has a "significant gap" in its international information-sharing requirements for crypto transactions and recommended that relevant obligations be incorporated into its Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) regulations or other suitable legal documents as soon as possible. Kenya's Virtual Asset Service Provider Law came into effect in November 2025 and is regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya and the Capital Markets Authority.
