How the Kenyan Shilling market is shaped

The Kenyan Shilling trades on 6 of the venues we cover, and right now they hold around 242 ads totalling 589K USDT. Most of them sit on Bybit.

The typical price is 132.99 KES to buy and 126.95 KES to sell. The gap between them, 4.75%, is exactly what you lose buying and immediately selling back. It is not an exchange fee but the natural distance between demand and supply, and it narrows as the market deepens.

How far the venues diverge

The cheapest and dearest exchange for this currency currently sit 48.35% apart, measured across the 3 venues that carry this market. That is a lot: the market is fragmented, the venues are barely connected, and looking at only one of them is a reliable way to overpay. A gap that size usually means flow between venues is obstructed — by banking limits, verification requirements, or simply too few merchants.

How this compares with other currencies

By ad count this is the 29th largest of the 69 currencies with a page of their own here. The gap between venues here is the widest of all these currencies — the venues are barely connected at all.
