Commentary From the Trading Desk
It's been a volatile month for the ZAR (again, yes, I know) and a good month for crypto in general with BTC at its recent short-term highs. The premium itself (up until early October) has been relatively stable in the 1.7% to 2.2% range.
|
The ZAR weakness has been a bit of a passenger on the strong dollar trade. As we come into the end of the year, we expect increased activity in the premium as those who have held back on remaining FIA trade their balances out.
|
There are less than 65 trading days left in the year so time to get cracking.

Our team attended the Token2049 conference in Singapore. This was a real eye-opener to see how the digital asset ecosystem is growing. Admittedly 90% of it seems to be fly-by-nighters but the remainder seem to be serious innovations in the space. Let us know if you would like to know more about this. Our team is always happy to chat through what we saw.

A Few Larger News Items in Crypto & SA Macro Space to Be Aware Of
Some news items out there in the macro and digital asset space:
|
- SBF's trial has started. Grab your popcorn as this is likely to be an interesting show.
- Bloomberg has the probability of a spot BTC ETF at about 75% for this year. If not this year then early next year
- Severe floods in the Western Cape may impact Tourism, especially in the Winelands. Keep an eye on this.
SARB has announced they won't defend a weakening ZAR. Interesting stance with widespread implications.
Good luck out there, stay cautious, stay opportunistic.
