From 75 to 298: How South Africa's Crypto Licence List Changed Since 2024
Every firm on the FSCA's April 2024 list is still on the 2026 list, but not all in the same section.
The short version: the FSCA's list titled April 2024 had 75 crypto asset service providers; the March 2026 list has 298 in its licensed section. Of the 75 on the 2024 list, 69 are still licensed and 6 are now among CASPs whose crypto product categories were removed (FSCA, April 2024; FSCA, March 2026).
