Crypto Adoption
Despite a major correction across the crypto market, the adoption of digital assets, including BTC, ETH, and XRP has increased in the past few months.
“Crypto adoption is progressing in South Africa, as the Prudential Authority of the Reserve Bank of South Africa has sent out guidelines which encourage banks not to cut all ties with cryptocurrency. Previously, unclear regulations have resulted in some South African banks cutting ties with crypto asset service providers (CASPs), but the recent guidelines suggest that cutting ties could cause greater risk in the long run. This is because it would limit the ability to deal with money laundering and could be a threat to general financial integrity,” Marcus Sotiriou, Analyst at GlobalBlock, said.
XRP’s current market cap stands at around $16.6 billion, just behind BUSD’s $19 billion market cap.
