Why This Listing Stands Out
- Established bank account — one of the biggest operational hurdles already solved
- Full compliance team prepared to stay — AML/FIC Officer, Data Protection Officer, External Compliance Officer, Key Individual, and Director all willing to remain on board
- Immediately operational — enables a fully functional crypto exchange from day one
- First-mover advantage — South Africa’s CASP regime is new; licensed entities are scarce and highly valuable
- Financial statements available — full transparency on request
Authorized Activities
- Non-automated advisory services for crypto assets
- Intermediary services for crypto asset transactions
- Facilitation of crypto trading and exchange operations
Ideal For
- Crypto exchanges targeting African market expansion
- Forex brokers adding crypto asset services
- Global VASPs seeking a compliant African base of operations
- Fintech companies needing FSCA authorization for institutional partnerships
About FSCA CASP Licensing
South Africa introduced mandatory CASP registration under the Financial Sector Conduct Authority in 2023, making it one of Africa’s most structured crypto regulatory frameworks. A Category 1 CASP license covers advisory and intermediary services, enabling a broad range of crypto asset operations. Obtaining this license from scratch involves extensive documentation, local directorship requirements, and lengthy review periods — making this acquisition a significant shortcut to market.
