The directive includes a ‘travel rule’ requiring detailed client information to accompany crypto transfers over R5000. It emphasizes the responsibility of CASPs to comply with South African regulatory frameworks like FICA, to ensure transactions are free from criminal activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing. The article also highlights the use of tools like VOCA to help CASPs stay compliant.</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-294493" class="post-294493 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-ethiopia-news category-fintech tag-digital-currency-ethiopia tag-digital-issuing-revolution tag-digital-transformation-ethiopia tag-ethiopia-digital-economy tag-ethiopia-digital-finance tag-ethiopia-financial-innovation tag-future-of-digital-finance-in-ethiopia tag-regulation-in-digital-finance"> <div class="post-item post-grid"> <div class="post-item-image"> </div> <div class="post-item-content"> <div class="entry-cat"> <ul class="post-categories"> <li><a href="https://africabusiness.com/category/ethiopia-news/" rel="category tag">Ethiopia News</a></li> <li><a href="https://africabusiness.com/category/fintech/" rel="category tag">Fintech</a></li></ul> </div> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://africabusiness.com/2025/02/20/driving-ethiopias-digital-issuing-revolution-two-sides-of-the-same-coin/" rel="bookmark">Driving Ethiopia’s Digital Issuing Revolution – Two Sides of the Same Coin</a></h2> <ul class="entry-meta"> <li class="post-author"> <a href="https://africabusiness.com/author/admin/"><span class="far fa-user"></span>Africa Business</a></li> <li class="post-date"> <span class="far fa-calendar-alt"></span>February 20, 2025</li> <li class="post-comment"> <span class="far fa-comment"></span>0</li> </ul> <div class="post-content"> <p>This article provides an in-depth look at Ethiopia’s digital issuing revolution, examining the dual aspects of technological advancements and regulatory frameworks.
