GUEST - Tarris Arnold, Business Development Manager at Luno, South Africa’s largest crypto investment app

South Africans are increasingly using crypto to pay for goods and services according to a new report by Luno, South Africa’s largest crypto investment app and a licensed FSP.

The new Luno report, Bridging digital and fiat - crypto’s role in modern payments, highlights the growth of crypto payments, with retail giant Pick n Pay for instance recording over R1 million in monthly sales paid in crypto from just R25,000 a year ago.

In a recent Luno social media poll, almost 40% of respondents said they used crypto to make payments. This provides an indication of how crypto is being used by those potentially more familiar with crypto than the broader public.
