South Africa's First National Bank (FNB) has launched a 'Crypto Investing' feature allowing nearly 9 million retail clients to buy, sell, and trade five cryptocurrencies directly within its existing share-trading platform. Supported assets include Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and USDT, with trades starting as low as R10 (~$0.60). The service operates 24/7 and funds are drawn directly from clients' FNB accounts, but crypto assets cannot be transferred outside the bank due to regulatory and security reasons. This move reflects growing demand for crypto investments in South Africa and positions FNB as a trusted gateway, with plans to expand asset offerings and provide educational resources.
