Kenya is set to become the epicenter of Africa’s blockchain future as the Kenya Blockchain and Crypto Conference (KBCC) 2025 returns for its third edition on June 12–13, 2025 at the A.S.K Dome in Nairobi.
Powered by Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, KBCC 2025 is poised to gather over 1,500 participants from across Africa, including developers, regulators, financial institutions, startups, and policymakers. Themed “Driving Blockchain Innovation and Mass Adoption,” the two-day event aims to accelerate the continent’s Web3 revolution through thought leadership, collaboration, and regulation.
Two Days, One Mission: Innovation and Policy Alignment
Day 1 will focus on “Blockchain for Business, Institutional Adoption & Regulation.”
This day will bring together 500+ stakeholders, including government officials and industry leaders, to explore regulatory frameworks, compliance strategies, and blockchain applications across finance, trade, and governance.
Day 2, titled “Building on Chain: Scaling Web3 Solutions,” will split into two specialized tracks:
- A Developer Track engaging 800+ Web3 builders with workshops, code labs, and product demos.
- A Startup Track tailored to 100 early-stage founders, featuring pitch showcases, mentoring, and funding opportunities.

Kenya’s Regulatory Pivot: A Major Talking Point
KBCC 2025 takes place amid critical shifts in Kenya’s digital asset regulation. The Finance Bill 2025 proposes a reduction of the Digital Asset Tax (DAT) from 3% to 1.5%, signaling government responsiveness to industry feedback.
Moreover, Kenya’s proposed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill, now in Parliament, seeks to introduce a comprehensive licensing and compliance regime—covering KYC, AML protocols, and consumer protection.
These developments mark Kenya’s growing commitment to becoming a regulated Web3 hub, and KBCC will serve as a key venue for unpacking their impact.
