🗓️ Aug 04 2026 18:42 UTC - Anelitha Fandese
The proposed framework requires crypto asset service providers facilitating cross-border transactions to obtain approval from the SARB's Financial Surveillance Department.
➤ South Africa's National Treasury and Reserve Bank have released a draft manual introducing new regulations for cross-border crypto transactions.
➤ Crypto asset service providers will require SARB approval, existing licenses, and must meet strict governance and reporting requirements, including mandatory reporting of all cross-border transfers.
➤ The framework aims to enhance oversight, combat illicit flows, and maintain existing exchange control limits for individuals, while prohibiting resident companies from externalizing crypto assets.
