South Africa Extends Crypto Consultation Deadline to June 30, Clarifies No Ban on Holdings

According to ChainCatcher, South Africa's National Treasury and Reserve Bank (SARB) announced on May 26 that they are shifting regulatory focus toward cross-border digital asset activities rather than restricting holdings themselves. The deadline for public comments on the draft Capital Flow Management Regulations has been extended to June 30, 2026. Both authorities clarified that the proposed rules do not aim to criminalize crypto holdings and will not apply retroactively. A cross-border crypto asset framework manual will follow, defining cross-border crypto transactions and obligations for authorized service providers.
