Crypto’s Rising Role – markets bounce back

South Africa Leads Crypto Regulation with 2025 Compliance Summit

The rise of cryptocurrency payments in South Africa is more than a passing trend; it signifies a fundamental transformation in the nation’s financial ecosystem.

A 2022 study by Triple A indicates that 9.44% of South Africa’s population owns crypto assets, with an expected 43% usage by 2030.

Against this backdrop the 2025 Crypto Assets Regulation and Compliance Conference will take place on 12 & 13 March at the Indaba Hotel Fourways.

Over 30 thought leaders will be sharing their knowledge and understanding on relevant topics, such as how digital assets are transforming financial markets, regulation and the reporting framework, risks banks are facing, AML, cross border financial flows, compliance issues and technology amongst others.

“I am thrilled to see the Crypto Assets Regulation & Compliance Conference come to life! This event is a crucial step in fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among industry stakeholders, regulators, and experts. We are honoured to provide a platform for meaningful discussions and insights that will shape the future of crypto assets regulation and compliance in Africa”, says Project Manager, Zama Mthimkhulu.

The organisers are delighted to announce that an impressive line-up of key players in the field has already secured their spots for this exclusive event. Among the notable companies already registered are:
