PrimeXBT expands spot crypto exchange in South Africa, leading the integration of crypto and TradFi

 ·16 Feb 2026

PrimeXBT, an FSCA-regulated multi-asset broker and crypto asset service provider, has rolled out a major upgrade to its crypto exchange offering in South Africa.

PrimeXBT now supports 54 crypto spot assets, alongside 100+ new exchange pairs, significantly expanding how local users can manage, exchange and use crypto across the platform.

The expanded selection covers a broad range of crypto asset categories, including major layer-1 cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, DeFi and infrastructure tokens, AI- and gaming-related projects, and community-driven assets.

This includes Solana ecosystem tokens such as BONK, WIF, PYTH, JUP, RENDER, RAY and BOME, alongside widely used assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, BNB and TRX.

Solana-based assets benefit from fast settlement times and low network costs, making them well suited for active exchange and on-platform use.

Spot assets are supported across five blockchain networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum (ERC-20), TRON (TRC-20), Binance Smart Chain (BSC) and Solana.

The upgrade enables South African traders to move beyond simply holding crypto. Assets can be bought, exchanged, and used as collateral to access a wide range of markets, including Crypto Futures, Forex, and CFDs on indices, commodities, shares and crypto, across both PrimeXBT’s native PXTrader platform and MT5.

“PrimeXBT was among the first to unify crypto and traditional markets under one roof, and one of the early pioneers of crypto margin trading globally,” said Sihle Tuta, Head of Region at PrimeXBT South Africa.

“Extending this model to South Africa reflects our commitment to delivering a modern, FSCA-regulated trading environment, while reinforcing crypto’s role as a flexible foundation for accessing both digital and traditional markets.”

The expansion reflects PrimeXBT’s long-term strategy to lead the evolution of modern trading in South Africa, driving deeper integration between crypto and TradFi through technology and unified access.
