South African crypto exchange Luno aims U.S. expansion
The leading crypto exchange platform and independent operating subsidiary of Digital Currency Group Inc., Luno is analyzing regulatory frameworks in all 50 states as a part of its launch later this year, according to Marius Reitz, the company's general manager for Africa.
The United States is the dream for many crypto unicorns
The world's largest economy is home to more than 50% of the world's crypto unicorns. A unicorn is a privately held startup with a market cap of over $1 billion. Many exchange platforms are aiming to mark a solid entry in the U.S. crypto market, and Binance and FTX are some of the recent ones to do so.Luno, which was founded in 2013, has a user base of 9 million people across Asia and Africa. It currently trades Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple tokens, and Reitz says it will soon add new coins from the top ten most liquid cryptocurrencies in the world.
Talking about the expansion during an interview with Bloomberg, he says:
"It is more complex than launching in an individual market because of the different states and different regulations within each of these states, so there are lots of moving parts. But it is a company focus for us for 2022."
Luno waits for a structured regulatory framework
Luno is the biggest crypto exchange in South Africa and the spread of digital currencies in Africa has been centered on Nigeria and South Africa, where about 25% of the population owns digital assets in some form.Luno is waiting for new regulations in South Africa, which Reitz claims are "imminent" and will certainly strengthen consumer protections. The improvements should enable crypto platforms to attract institutional investors who are currently missing from the market.
The new guidelines may also allow for the listing of more sophisticated products. Reitz anticipates that crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will be available in a year or two.
JSE Ltd., the stock exchange operator in South Africa, has previously rejected efforts to list crypto ETFs, citing a lack of a legal framework in the nation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
