FSCA is classified as a Tier 2 crypto regulator. Established AML/KYC and registration framework. Provides meaningful oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.
We currently list 17 crypto exchanges regulated or registered under FSCA. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall rating.
FSCA is based in South Africa and covers the South Africa jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it requires AML/KYC registration and provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether the exchange holds additional licences.
Visit the official FSCA website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.
FSCA regulation primarily addresses licensing, AML/KYC compliance, and operational standards. Compensation for hacks depends on the exchange's own insurance fund or Proof of Reserves commitments, not typically a government-backed compensation scheme. Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
