Proposed Bill to Regulate Crypto in Kenya: How SpongeV2 Aims to Thrive in a Crypto Regulated Africa

Sponge V2 Dex Feb 9

Kenya proposes crypto bill, SpongeV2 aims to thrive in regulated Africa with staking, governance and compliance focus. 

The Blockchain Association of Kenya (BAK) has taken a step towards shaping Kenya’s crypto regulatory landscape by drafting the country’s inaugural Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP) bill.  

The VASP bill, unveiled on 22 January 2024, represents a culmination of efforts by BAK to provide a comprehensive regulatory framework for the crypto industry in Kenya.  

With responses from Kenya’s digital asset community ranging from positive to negative, the bill’s release for public review marks a pivotal moment in Kenya’s journey towards crypto regulation.

Against the backdrop of Kenya’s crypto market, characterized by economic activity and growing adoption, the proposed cryptocurrency bill seeks to address key consumer protection issues. 

By establishing a robust consumer protection framework and introducing operator licensing requirements under a regulatory sandbox, the bill aims to safeguard the interests of investors while fostering innovation within the industry.

Nigeria and South Africa have also taken measures to set in motion legislation to regulate their crypto markets, setting the tone for other African nations to begin regulating crypto.

While crypto regulations could raise concerns over centralization, optimistic analysts believe regulations are not set in place to limit the appealing features of DeFi that have caused the crypto industry to boom and support the growth of economies but to tackle scam coins that harm the crypto industry and put it at risk of supporting African economies in the future.

As Kenya navigates the complexities of crypto regulation, projects like SpongeV2 emerge as potential beneficiaries of regulatory clarity. 

SpongeV2, a meme coin recently relaunched on the Polygon network, boasts features designed to enhance security, transparency, and ethical practices within the crypto space. 

At the heart of SpongeV2’s appeal lies its unique staking mechanism, which allows users to earn rewards on a rolling basis, with stakeholders on the Polygon network receiving over 7,000% returns. 

There is also a decentralized governance system in place, which enables community members to participate in decision-making processes, ensuring transparency and inclusivity.  

In light of Kenya’s regulatory initiatives, Sponge V2 is already committed to compliance with regulatory guidelines and ethical standards. By adhering to the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, SpongeV2 sets a precedent for responsible conduct within the crypto community, ensuring transparent transaction reporting and proper record-keeping to prevent financial wrongdoings. 

SpongeV2 has witnessed significant market performance, with its $SPONGE token surging 40% within 24 hours of its launch on the Polygon network, reflecting investor confidence and interest in the project.

As a utility crypto, SpongeV2 offers features such as a play-to-earn racing game, providing users with additional avenues for engagement and rewards within the ecosystem.

Positive Potential: Navigating Regulatory Clarity

As Kenya moves towards regulatory clarity, SpongeV2 is positioned to thrive in a crypto-regulated Africa. With the potential for increased demand driven by mass adoption of blockchain technology and continued growth of play-to-earn gaming, $SPONGE is a compelling investment option. 

 Investors who missed the initial claiming window for Sponge V2 tokens during the transition period can still acquire them through the official Sponge website. Importantly, the relaunched token maintains its earlier price point, ensuring a smooth transition for existing holders.

The Sponge community expresses strong optimism for the future of Sponge V2, envisioning it exceeding its previous peak of $0.0012. This positive outlook stems from several factors, including:

  • Revamped Staking Model: This model is expected to offer enhanced rewards and incentivize long-term holding.
  • Polygon Network Integration: This allows for faster and cheaper transactions, potentially attracting a wider user base.
  • Upcoming Play-to-Earn Racing Game: This could increase demand for the token due to its utility within the game’s ecosystem.

Rumors about potential involvement from Justin Sun, founder of TRON, have generated excitement within the Sponge community. Sun’s past involvement with meme coins and recent Ethereum transactions have fuelled speculation regarding its potential interest in Sponge V2, leading to heightened anticipation for possible market gains.

As $SPONGE tokens gain traction on the Polygon network, the crypto remains a subject of interest within the cryptocurrency community. Many are closely monitoring its progress, particularly as it approaches the potential for a 200x return on investment.
