GREY AREA — XMR / ZEC

SURVEILLANCE

South Africa's FSCA (Financial Sector Conduct Authority) introduced mandatory FSP (Financial Service Provider) licensing for crypto asset service providers under FAIS, effective 2023. The Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) imposes AML/KYC obligations. South Africa was FATF grey-listed in 2023 due to AML deficiencies, accelerating regulatory tightening. Luno, the dominant South African exchange, does not list XMR — not by regulatory prohibition but by policy choice. Privacy coins face no statutory ban and are accessible via P2P and DEX.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ZA USERS

FSCA-licensed exchanges (Luno, VALR) have full KYC requirements — use Haveno DEX or Bisq for no-KYC Bitcoin and Monero acquisition.
Bisq with EFT payment supports ZAR order books — viable for no-KYC BTC acquisition.
XMR is accessible via Haveno P2P and offshore swap services — no regulatory prohibition exists.
