In a significant development in the DeFi space, South African startup NeoNomad has launched ZARCoin, a stablecoin pegged to the South African Rand. The move coincides with the listing of ZAR alongside other cryptocurrencies such as PEPE, WIF, ENA, and TAO on Altify. Despite economic uncertainty, Bitcoin has reached record highs in African currencies and in the South African Rand. The relationship between ZAR stability and cryptocurrency adoption is becoming more intertwined.
In a strategic move for local currency adoption, the BRICS Bank issued its first ZAR Bonds. This comes amidst the South African rand showing strength following producer inflation data. In a bid to stimulate trading, Binance has offered a fee promotion for Bitcoin and Ether trades in select emerging markets such as Argentina, Brazil, and South Africa.
South African Fintech, PayCorp, has launched CryptoExpress to simplify Crypto to Cash conversions. Binance, however, delisted South African Rand trading pairs following the currency's failure to meet what the platform considers as 'High Level Standard'.
Despite regulatory uncertainties, the crypto market in South Africa continues to evolve, highlighted by the recent fractionalization of rare ZAR proof coins into NFTs by South African Web3 firm. More so, the First Rand Stablecoin, ZARP, has gone live on the OVEX Exchange in South Africa, marking another milestone in the country's crypto journey.
