Kenya Token vs. Kenya Digital Token: A Branding Quagmire

[cryptoenthusiast]

The scam “Kenya Token” bears a striking resemblance to the branding of Kenya Digital Token (KDT), a separate semi-official crypto asset reportedly endorsed by government officials.
Analysts note that KDT itself is riddled with red flags: immediately after its token generation event, 141 accounts scooped up 20% of supply despite the site claiming the tokens were “locked for the people.” This overlap has fueled speculation that the Kenya Token scammers tried to piggyback on KDT’s identity.

KDT’s early concentration of supply already raised red flags, making it easy for scams to copy the branding.

The Kenya Token overlap shows how quickly bad actors exploit shaky “official” projects.
