In this latest interview with VALR’s CEO Farzam Ehsani by DL News, Farzam shares more about VALR’s growth story in Africa and beyond. “VALR was established 6.5 years ago, during a time when there was minimal global crypto regulation. From the beginning, we did our best to adhere to high ethical standards, even in the absence of formal regulations. Now that regulatory frameworks are being developed, we are well-positioned to comply, having effectively self-regulated since our inception.”

Over the past few months, we’ve had the opportunity to connect with our community through a series of exclusive meet-ups in Asia, Europe, Johannesburg, and most recently, Cape Town. These gatherings have been great for strengthening relationships and sharing ideas central to our journey. And as we expand across borders, we continue to build strength in South Africa. Curious about our next stop? Let’s just say… September holds something exciting, and it’s happening in Singapore.

Corporate treasuries are increasingly recognising #Bitcoin as a key asset, viewing it as a hedge against traditional financial risks.
