Draft rules threaten Bitcoin self-custody in South Africa, Stephan Livera warns

Draft rules threaten Bitcoin self-custody in South Africa, Stephan Livera warns
South Africa Bitcoin self-custody threat

Stephan Livera, head of education and podcast host at Swan Bitcoin, discusses growing concerns over Bitcoin self-custody in South Africa.

He highlights how the country's Draft Capital Flow Management Regulations 2026 are considered the most serious threat yet to Bitcoin self-custody, referencing insights from Ricki Allardice, a leader at PRDG_ZA.

Livera has recently tracked several developments across the Bitcoin ecosystem. He noted that Strategy sold 32 BTC, describing the transaction as minor compared to previous larger sales such as 704 BTC in December 2022 (full article). He also reported on the launch of Bark on the Bitcoin mainnet with Steven Roose, outlining technical details and comparisons with Lightning and Ark (full article). These updates follow his latest commentary on regulatory issues affecting self-custody in South Africa.
