South Africa’s FNB launches crypto trading for retail clients

South Africa’s First National Bank has launched cryptocurrency trading for retail clients, according to Crypto Briefing. The bank’s roughly 9 million retail customers can now buy crypto directly through its existing stock trading platform, with support for five assets: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL and USDT. FNB partnered with VALR, Africa’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in October last year, and the new service is part of that partnership.
