South Africa emerges as a leading digital asset hub, driving growth in crypto with proactive regulations and expanding platforms like VALR.
A number of emerging economies across Africa have the potential to become digital asset hubs. Simultaneously, the cost of compliance for crypto exchanges is increasing as regulatory clarity emerges, according to Ben Caselin, chief marketing officer of VALR, a crypto exchange based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“South Africa is the entryway to the rest of Africa with a good rule of law and independent judiciary. It’s easy to open a company in South Africa,” Caselin told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview.
Caselin views several emerging economies in the African subcontinent as promising hubs for digital asset adoption.
