Early‑bird tickets for Kenya Blockchain & Crypto Conference 2026 close soon

Scheduled for May 14–15 at the A.S.K Dome, the Kenya Blockchain and Crypto Conference (KBCC) 2026 is moving past the experimental phase to focus on stablecoins and digital payments. It is an interesting time for this pivot, especially with the recent rollout of the Draft Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Regulations 2026. You can be sure that local startups are already leaning into stablecoins to bypass the headache of cross-border settlements and volatile local currencies.

This year's lineup is high-caliber, bringing together regulators from the KRA and Central Bank alongside heads of innovation from Safaricom and regional leads from firms like Binance and Visa. It is rare to get the people writing the rules in the same room as the people breaking ground on the code, which is why this specific edition feels like it has more weight than previous years.

The agenda is packed with deep dives into AML (Anti-Money Laundering) tracking, wallet forensics, and the technicalities of how telecoms are beginning to integrate stablecoin rails. It is less about speculation and more about the boring, essential infrastructure that actually makes a digital economy function.

A Quick Note on Logistics

For those who are actually planning to attend, there is a bit of a deadline approaching. The early-bird ticket window is closing in five days. Currently, those tickets are going for KES 10,000, but that price is set to jump once the countdown hits zero.

If you are a developer looking to network in the Web3 track or a founder trying to get your startup in front of investors, it is probably worth securing your spot now. You can find the ticket portal over at their official site or through the links on their socials.

We will be on the ground at the A.S.K Dome to see if the reality of blockchain in Kenya finally matches the ambition. See you there.
