🚨 South Africa tightens its grip on crypto transfers 🇿🇦
The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has just dropped a regulatory bombshell. If you’re trading or holding cryptocurrencies in South Africa, the landscape is changing fast.
Here’s exactly what the proposed new draft crypto asset guide for the market means:
🚫 Ban on companies: Resident entities, including companies and funds, are explicitly prohibited from engaging in cross-border cryptoasset transactions.
📉 Limits for individuals: Retail users face strict caps—up to 2 million rand per year under the single-person discretionary allowance, or as much as 10 million rand under the foreign capital allowance.
🛑 Ban on self-custody: The incoming transfer from non-custodial wallets (self-hosted) to licensed local trading platforms is strictly prohibited.
This is a pivotal moment, as crypto assets have officially been categorized under the Currency and Exchanges Act to strengthen oversight of cross-border financial flows. While it provides a formal framework for licensed crypto asset service providers (CASPs), the stringent limits on self-custody raise red flags.
👇 What do you think?
Is this necessary to improve regulatory clarity, or a major blow to the system’s decentralization? Share your thoughts below!
