Kenya’s Central Bank is hiring for crypto compliance roles as landmark regulation nears
- The CBK is hiring for four positions within its Digital Payment Services Division focused on VASPs.
- The roles include a manager-level position for licensing, two deputy manager roles for compliance and product approval, and a senior business analyst.
- This is the first time the CBK has created roles specifically dedicated to VASPs.
The proactive hiring by the CBK indicates a strong commitment to establishing a regulated environment for virtual assets in Kenya. However, the gap between legislation and the actual implementation of regulations poses challenges that need to be addressed to ensure effective oversight and compliance in the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.
