South Africa paves the way for Africa's Bitcoin investment revolution

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) will list Africa’s first publicly listed Bitcoin money management company in early September 2025, aiming to raise $210 million through an IPO. The Bitcoin-backed fund will provide institutional and retail investors with regulated Bitcoin investment opportunities, backed by local and international investment banks. The listing is seen as a milestone in Bitcoin's popularity in Africa, and investors have shown strong interest in the early stage market.
