See You at KBCC 2026!
We’re excited to be attending the 4th edition of @KBCC_01
If you’re attending, stop by our booth and let’s talk all things stablecoin from cross-border payments and settlement infrastructure to liquidity management.
This past Saturday we did a deep dive into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) exploring different smart contract standards(ERC-721 and ERC-1155), metadata ,IPFS and more .By the end of the session each of our members had minted an NFT From scratch .
Follow us for more updates.
This is wild. This kills cross border building and just scares away capital. I’m so angry at our Governments. They keep running the same playbook that’s been holding South Africa back for years, control everything, fix nothing.
Forcing people to disclose crypto, restrict how they use it, and even force sell it back into rand? Like wtf.
What are the real motives here?
Capital flight fears? Weakening rand? Or just trying to box people into a system they’re losing control over?
South African Reserve Bank and National Treasury of South Africa need to explain why innovation is being treated like a threat instead of an opportunity.
This doesn’t protect people, it pushes them out of the system entirely.
🇿🇦 SOUTH AFRICA PROPOSES INSANE CRYPTO CONTROLS, POSSIBLE FORCED SALES
South Africa National Treasury and South African Reserve Bank have introduced draft Capital Flow Management Regulations that could dramatically restrict crypto use.
The proposal would require disclosure of crypto holdings above an unspecified threshold and could allow the government to force holders to sell assets for rand.
Under the draft, investors may not buy, sell, lend, or transfer crypto above the threshold without permission, except through approved providers.
Transactions would require a stated purpose, and using funds outside that purpose could trigger mandatory resale.
Cross-border transfers and payments using crypto would be banned without approval.
Authorities would also gain powers to search individuals, demand declarations, and seize assets suspected of violating the rules.
Critics say the changes raise serious constitutional concerns around privacy, property rights, and freedom of association, calling them among the most aggressive updates to South Africa’s decades-old exchange control system.
There are more South Africans in Web3 than you think 🇿🇦
They’re just not in one place… yet.
We’re changing that.
We’re building a hub for local events, meetups, and workshops, spotlighting builders & making sure they have real support.

Public participation is key to shaping inclusive legislation.
Our CEO, Felix Macharia, presented the @officialvaak submission on the VASP Bill at Egerton University.
In this video, he shares why this process matters and how it helps shape the final bill.
We’re excited to announce we now an official community partner of @blockfestafrica
Our mission to grow blockchain education, innovation, and opportunities across Africa. We are looking forward to creating meaningful experiences and connecting more people to the future of Web3.
What I’ve seen with a lot of South African builders is that they’re only focused on building and don’t see the importance of community and culture, which is the beauty of building in web3.
Building without a strong community in our country is hard, it makes everything slower and more disconnected.
When you have a strong community and culture, building, distributing, and connecting becomes so much easier and more natural.
Yes, it takes a lot of my time away from actually building but I’ve realized just how important it is. I’m making it my mission to help shape that kind of community here.
