South Africa Plans to Include Cryptographic Assets in Its Foreign Exchange Control Framework
On April 17, South Africa’s National Treasury released the Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations (2026) for public consultation. The draft proposes incorporating crypto assets into the foreign exchange control framework to address associated risks and strengthen oversight of emerging financial instruments. It also aims to align the foreign exchange control framework with recommendations from the OECD and the FATF on combating money laundering, terrorist financing, and illicit financial flows, further clarifying exemptions, licensing requirements, and conditions of application, while imposing administrative penalties for violations.
QCP: Crypto Market Remains Resilient Amid Geopolitical Pressures, Institutional Capital Continues to Flow In
According to QCP Group, U.S.-Iran negotiations collapsed over the weekend, sending oil prices back above $100 per barrel and triggering a broad market shift toward risk aversion. BTC encountered resistance at $74,000, while ETH pulled back from $2,330 to $2,180. Trump subsequently threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to cut off Iranian oil exports; Iran countered with threats targeting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, further widening risk exposure. China, as a major importer of Iranian crude oil, sits at the center of this crisis. Should the blockade be implemented, U.S.-China confrontation risks would rise significantly—a scenario not yet fully priced into markets. Nevertheless, the crypto market has demonstrated notable resilience: implied volatility and risk-reversal indicators have both retreated to pre-conflict levels, signaling waning panic. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded net inflows of $612.1 million over the past week, reflecting continued institutional buying momentum. Market focus has now shifted from geopolitical headlines to execution details: Trump announced the blockade will commence at 10 a.m. ET—yet repeated delays have rendered policy credibility itself a tradable variable.
Analysis: BTC cross-exchange flow pulse surged 136% from the March low; the 7-day moving average crossed above the 30-day moving average for the first time in several months.
According to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. (@AxelAdlerJr), the Bitcoin Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse has surged 136% from its March low. Its 7-day moving average has crossed above its 30-day moving average for the first time in several months, signaling that the flow mechanism is shifting back toward a risk-on mode—though one indicator has yet to confirm this shift.
