Will the mandatory KRA reporting clause for Crypto Exchanges survive the final Finance Act 2026 vote?

Market Context: As cryptocurrency adoption surges in Kenya, the Finance Bill 2026 seeks to tighten regulatory oversight by mandating that cryptocurrency exchanges and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) report user data, holdings, and transaction histories directly to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The KRA aims to integrate crypto assets into the traditional tax net to prevent tax evasion. However, the tech community has raised severe privacy concerns, warning that strict reporting mandates may drive international exchanges to geoblock Kenyan users or push traders toward unregulated peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. Traders in this market are speculating on whether the government will enforce this stringent surveillance measure or yield to industry warnings. Rules & Oracle: - Oracle: The official publication of the Finance Act 2026 by the Government Printer (Kenya Gazette). - Resolution Rules: This market resolves to 'Yes' if the mandatory KRA reporting clause for cryptocurrency exchanges survives the parliamentary process and is explicitly included in the final, gazetted Finance Act 2026. It resolves to 'No' if the clause is entirely deleted, or heavily amended to remove the mandatory reporting of individual user transaction histories to the KRA. The market resolution depends entirely on the exact legal wording of the published gazetted Act, expected by June 30th, 2026.
